Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Based on the scripture, we can conclude there are two types of courage. This scripture emphasizes being of good courage, that means, there must be bad courage.

Good courage is fearlessly doing what God tells us to do without delay. An example of good courage is when David ran towards the giant, Goliath (1 Samuel 17). Bad courage is doing what our flesh wants to do without consulting God. An example of bad courage is when David had another man killed in order to take his wife (2 Samuel 11).

Believe it or not, it takes courage to do something outside the will of God. For instance, if someone disrespected us, we have a decision to make regarding which courage to choose. Bad courage would lead us to curse them out, bash them on Twitter or Facebook, or do physical or emotional harm to that person. Good courage would lead us to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and stand for righteousness (Matthew 5:44).

We have freewill and the choice is up to us but, I encourage you to maintain good courage.
