Where do leaders get the courage to face the challenges and obstacles of life?
And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, "The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them. Numbers 14:6-9 (ESV) Fear is a part of leadership. Leaders do not escape the emotion of fear, but they learn how to manage the fear so that it does not control them. Caleb and Joshua had courage fueled by the promise of God that He was greater than any enemy they faced.
