Bible Verses About Courage

Courage in the Bible is never about being fearless. It is about moving forward in the face of fear because you know who walks beside you. From Joshua leading a nation into unknown territory to David facing a giant, Scripture is full of ordinary people who did extraordinary things because God was their strength. These verses about courage speak directly to your fears and replace them with a deeper truth: the God of the universe is with you wherever you go.
