Fear can hold us back from boldly sharing the hope of Jesus, but God calls every believer to step forward in courage. Drawing from Joshua 1:9, this devotional encourages Christians to rely on God’s presence and strength to overcome fear and proclaim the Good News with confidence. Courage is not the absence of fear—it’s trusting that God goes with us wherever we are sent.

Highlights

• Fear often surfaces when we feel unprepared or anxious to share our faith.

• God commands strength and courage, promising His presence wherever we go (Joshua 1:9).

• The enemy uses fear to silence believers, but God’s power surpasses any opposition.

• True courage flows from trusting God, not relying on our own abilities.

• Speaking the truth of Jesus with love can impact lives and advance His Kingdom.

Courage to Share the Good News of Jesus

By Keri Eichberger

Bible Reading:

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)

I can’t tell you how many times fear has attempted to overtake me and keep me off a stage. And particularly when it comes to sharing the word of God. Which is super frustrating, considering I gave my life to full-time ministry several years ago and I’ve had many opportunities to speak to groups and crowds about Jesus. My heart wants to be bold for Jesus' sake. My soul longs to point others to the grace, love, and freedom found in our Savior. But in a similar way, Moses thought he had a stutter and couldn’t effectively deliver on behalf of the God of the Universe; anxiety plagues me whenever I face a room full of still and staring eyes. My stomach turns and twists in knots of nausea, and sometimes my mind goes completely blank.  

But even still, I feel called to speak up. I have a passion, I have words, and I have a deep desire to pour it out. And it all comes from the Lord. But here’s the trouble. Satan. He sees it. He knows I am on fire for his opponent, which fires him up with fury. And so he is hot after me. I can feel it. He is relentless. And I wonder if you’ve ever felt his vicious, angry attacks too. When you’ve had a desire to disciple the lost, a heart to help the hurting, a nudge to share your story, or an excitement to

In this honest and hope-filled interview, Rachel Wojo shares how her faith was tested through her daughter’s 22-year battle with a terminal illness, and how God met her in her grief. From wrestling with anger to discovering the power of simple, heartfelt prayers, her story is a raw reminder that it’s never too late to call on Jesus.

Every morning and evening, the earth sings of God’s glory. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, the world is overflowing with beauty — mountains that reach toward heaven, oceans that echo His vastness, and people whose diversity reflects His creativity. Yet amid our busyness, we often overlook these wonders and miss the awe that leads us to worship.

In this uplifting reflection, Whitney Hopler reminds us that awe isn’t reserved for mountaintops or faraway destinations — it’s woven into the everyday fabric of our lives. Whether we’re standing beneath a star-filled sky, walking through a quiet forest, or tasting a meal that celebrates another culture, each moment of wonder is an invitation to encounter God.

Awe is not just an emotion; it’s a spiritual posture. When we open our eyes to God’s creation — both in nature and in people — our worries grow smaller, our gratitude deepens, and our hearts naturally overflow with joy. Today, slow down and look around. You’ll find that the whole world is whispering of God’s majesty.

Today's Bible Reading:
“The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.” – Psalm 65:8, NIV

Takeaway Truths

• Awe is a sacred response to the beauty and power of God’s creation.

• Every culture, landscape, and moment of beauty reflects God’s creativity.

• Experiencing awe expands our perspective and naturally leads to worship.

Let’s Pray

Dear God,

Your Word says the whole earth is filled with awe at Your wonders. Forgive me for rushing through my days and missing the beauty You’ve placed all around me. Wake me up to Your glory in creation — in the skies, the seas, and in the people You’ve made.

Renew my sense of wonder. Whether I travel far or stay close to home, help me see Your fingerprints in everything. Let every moment of awe turn into a song of joy and praise in my heart. You are worthy of all my worship, from morning to evening, in every corner of the world.

Thank You for Your breathtaking creation and the joy of knowing You. Amen.

Verse of the Day: Genesis 12:1-3 - Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and pin you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

Pray for the refreshment of the pastors and the ministry leaders who have been serving so faithfully in very hard times, and they're exhausted and they're going through grief.
Pray for us as we minister to the ministers, and that God open financial doors.

What does it really mean to be blessed? In our evening prayer and devotional, we reflect on the fact that, too often, we equate blessings with success, comfort, or ease — but Jeremiah reminds us that true blessing comes from being rooted in God, even in seasons of drought.

In this episode, Kyle Norman reflects on how God’s blessings sustain us in times of change and challenge. Like a tree planted by water, the faithful remain nourished and steadfast even when life feels uprooted. God’s promise isn’t the removal of hardship — it’s the assurance of His sustaining presence through it all.

TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE:

“They will be like a tree planted by water…its leaves are always green.”
— Jeremiah 17:8

MAIN TAKEAWAYS

• God’s blessings are not defined by outward success, but by inward connection to His presence.

• Even when “heat” and “drought” come, those rooted in God remain strong.

• The faithful life draws continuously from God’s living water — His Spirit, Word, and grace.

• True stability in life comes from confidence in the Lord, not in circumstances.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES

• Jeremiah 17:8

• Psalm 1

• John 7:38

YOUR EVENING PRAYER

Lord Jesus,
You are the living water, the source of everything I need. Help me to stay rooted in You, even when life feels uncertain. Give me strength when trials come and peace when my heart feels shaken. Keep me grounded in Your love so I may bear fruit that honors You.
In Your precious name,
Amen.

THREE THINGS TO MEDITATE UPON

1. Reflect on Psalm 1: What does it mean to live like a tree planted by streams of water?

2. Meditate on John 7:38: How do you draw spiritual strength from Jesus, the source of living water?

3. Ask yourself: What would it look like to place full confidence in the Lord amid life’s uncertainties?
