Bible values for children

Courage starts with one brave step.

Doing a good thing even when afraid.

We can ask God to help us take a small, safe step.

Put it into practice

What does courage look like?

Courage means doing a good and right thing even when you feel afraid. Being brave can mean asking for help, telling the truth or trying something new. We can ask God to help us take a small, safe step.

You might tell your teacher that someone is being left out, even if speaking up makes you nervous.

Verses to remember

Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 ↗ · World English Bible Classic

A little context

Joshua 1:9 is God's encouragement to Joshua as he takes on leadership after Moses. We can learn about courage and trust without treating Joshua's particular mission as our own.
