A Daily Devotional

About multiplying your courage�

Philippians 1:27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. (NIV)

We are often afraid. We are often afraid of losing our loved ones, losing our life, losing our possessions, losing our job, losing our income, losing our friends, and losing the parts of our life giving our life meaning. However, we can possess a part of life we cannot lose. We can all posses Christ and His love. Christ and His love can never be taken from us. The martyrs who faced torture and death were perhaps afraid in the physical sense. However, the martyrs all had courage in Christ. For in Christ our courage is multiplied because we have someone who will never leave us. In Christ, we have someone we will never lose. In Christ, we can find every bit of courage we will ever need. In Christ, no matter what happens to us, we will always have Him. In addition, He will always have us. When we are afraid of things in this world, our faith is multiplied when we know Christ is beside us. In our fear, our faith is multiplied because we know Christ will walk with us until we see Him face to face in His world in Heaven.
