We are going to be looking at the characters and the circumstances that God used to instill courage in His people. Each week is a different story about how someone overcame impossible odds and what we can learn from it. A few are actually stories of defeat, but they can still be courageous stories if we will learn from them.
Today we are reading through chapters three and four of Joshua. I call this lesson “Taking the first step.” This is the actual crossing of the Jordan, but in reality it is just the first step. The battles begin when you reach the other side. This is just the first of many obstacles. But how you take this first step is very important. If you remember what you learned while taking your first steps, it will help you in taking every other step that comes after.
