A Heart of Courage

Courage-To act in accordance with one's beliefs in spite of criticism.
Noun: Bravery


A woman of the Bible that is often thought of as being courageous is Esther. Esther was chosen to be the queen to King Xerxes. Another ruler in the kingdom was Haman, who was evil and hated the Jews and wanted them killed. Esther courageously stood up for herself and her people and what she believed in. Haman's plot to kill the Jews was revealed by Esther and he was hung. Because Esther was courageous and stood up for herself and what was right, her and her people were saved.


As women and young girls in this society we are often ridiculed for our looks, beliefs, and actions. Although it is sometimes challenging and fearful the act of being courageous is very rewarding. Our lives and others lives are most often not on the line but our mental and spiritual health is. EVERYONE has courage, it is just a matter of finding it. Leaning on God can help you, time and time again God speaks in the Bible of finding courage through him. One of our favorite verses is in Deuteronomy chapter 31 verse 6: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes withyou; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Noone ever said that standing up for yourself or what you believe in is easy but calling upon God and finding hope in Him will help you find your heart of courage.


"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD." -Psalms 31:24
