Event Recap
At the last Women of Gold event for this school year, Jessica taught a lesson titled, “Courageous Faith” which was about trusting in God and being bold for Him in all circumstances. She taught that boldness for the Lord is seeing Him as the big God He is, not minimizing Him by undermining what He can do in our lives. This means not being hindered, discouraged, or made anxious by any circumstance that comes our way because God is our mighty source of courage.
Jessica talked about how trusting in the Lord is smiling at the future, like the woman in Proverbs 31:25. Rather than being anxious about all the things she has to do, she is courageous and looks forward to how God’s strength and goodness can be manifested in every situation. We can choose to have faith in God by constantly seeking and depending on Him, being faithful and joyful in our service to the church even when we are busy.
We also learned about trusting God in prayer (1 John 5:14-15). This looks like being bold in our prayers—taking courage to ask for specific things in Christ’s name and having faith that God will provide the perfect answer. We can trust that there is nothing too big or too small for God to handle.
And courageously trusting the Lord in prayer should lead to praise and thanksgiving. In every circumstance, whether seemingly favorable or not, we can be thankful to God because we have faith that He is working through it all. We can take courage knowing that God will work through us as we work faithfully for Him.
