  4. Q4. Fear and Courage

    in 1. The Birth and Call of Moses (Exodus 1-4)

    Posted

    Q4. Why are we so afraid to obey God when he puts on our heart to do something decisive? How are we to deal with fear when we feel it? What is the relationship of fear to courage? Why is courage required in leaders and disciples?

    We are afraid because we don't know what God knows. He knows we do not know. He says in Isaiah 55:8-11, His thoughts and ways are not ours; however, His Word never returns void. He knows who He is; we are ever learning to know Him and to trust him. We are to face the fear and do it anyway. Frankly, once we really begin to know God's ways; even the unthinkable makes sense as He is always proving that "nothing is impossible with God." Courage is always required in leaders and disciples because people are always watching and waiting to be amazed. As they watch the leaders, they grow confidence and the desire to follow the leader. It is the job of the leader to replicate themselves. Just as a child learn to do things by watching parents and older siblings, we learn by watching our leaders.

    I'm glad you've signed up for the Gideon study. Please tell us something about yourself.

    I'm the director of the study, Ralph F. Wilson. I'm the Ministry Development Pastor at Community Covenant Church, Rocklin, California. I have been developing online Bible studies since 1996.

    I am excited about this study. I conduct a "Community Bible Study" in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area. We are now deep into Exodus. The Bible is coming alive in the hearts and minds of people. This Bible Study is at best described in ECCL 3:1, there is a time for everything, especially a global Bible Study. Thank you Pastor Ralph!
