The distinction is subtle but the difference is so pertinent it bears examination.
Bravery is the ability to confront pain and difficulty without feelings of fear.
Courage is the ability to confront pain and difficulty DESPITE the fear that is eminent.
"The essence of courage is not the feeling of being certainly capable of overcoming what’s one is faced with, but rather is the willful choice to fight regardless of the consequences."
There is no Biblical promise that fear will not be present, courage can be obtained as our biddings from God are enablings from Him as well.
This sheds new light on the promise:
"Be strong and courageous" - Joshua 1:9
