Day 4: Facing Challenges with Courage
Money & Me — Week 1
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9 (ESV)

God said this to Joshua right before he walked into the biggest leadership challenge of his life — taking an entire nation into unknown territory after Moses died. No playbook. No guarantee it would go smoothly. Just a promise: I'm with you.

Financial uncertainty feels like unknown territory too. You don't know what next month looks like. You don't know if the job is secure. You don't know if the numbers will work out. And God's word to you is the same word He gave Joshua: don't be afraid. Not because the situation isn't real — but because I am.

Courage doesn't mean you're not worried. It means you move forward anyway because the God who goes with you is bigger than the thing in front of you.

Prayer: Lord, I don't need to see the whole road. I just need to know You're on it with me. Give me the courage to take the next step. Amen.

Reflect: What financial fear are you letting keep you stuck — and what would it look like to take one courageous step forward this week?
