Courage is simply what we do when we love someone or something more than we love ourselves. When we love someone or something more than we love ourselves we do courageous stuff! And courage is closely related to undaunted faith, right?

In this episode, I'm going to teach you a few Hebrew words, words like tiqvah and ezer. And in the end, I'll ask you if you are an ezer, a life-saver. Like Rahab, are you an ezer?

Among the people of northern Natal in South Africa, the most common greeting, like hello in English, is the expression: Sawu Bona. It literally means, I see you. You are seen. If I don't see you, far more importantly, God does. In fact, as I read this chapter, I kept sensing that God simply wanted me to tell you, he sees you. You are seen. Isn't that one of the results of that common promise, "I will be with you."

When we wonder, God do you see me? Isaiah 43:1-3 is God's answer, "Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."

He sees you. He knows you. And He loves you. Let that grow your faith!

Some of them were bad voices; made you feel like you had nothing to offer the world, no one will ever love you and you can't be fixed.

Those words have made a significant difference in your life and sometime this week, you need to tell God and those people thank you.

But whether the voices of the people in your life have been good or bad. There is one voice above all others that we need to hear. That's the voice that will give you an undaunted faith! Who is getting your ears?
