Let’s Talk about Courage
Making time to write, brainstorming
a book or article, and sitting at a keyboard to actually type, takes
discipline—but not courage. We’re in our happy place. We’re alone, comfortably
dressed, in a friendly environment, playing with words, cobbling together
captivating sentences. What follows is when we need courage.
Pitching, submitting,
publishing, and, above all, marketing call for courage. Merriam-Webster defines
courage in this way: mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand
danger, fear, or difficulty.
Danger, fear, and difficulty
sum up the challenges of today’s topic: Marketing.
In
Acts 20:24, Luke wrote, “…my only
aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has
given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.” Whether our work is subtly or overtly Christian, as God’s children our writing testifies to God’s grace and our call is to complete the task given us. Seeing it through to
completion takes courage.
In our discussion today, we will heed
the words of Hebrews 10:24 and “Consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good
deeds,” toward completing the task God’s given us in the area of marketing.
Take-home thought: God
will give us the courage to market our writing for the benefit of our readers
and His glory.
