“Courage is more than a daring deed, it’s the breath of life and a strong man’s creed.”
-Edgar Albert Guest
As we look down the cliff of looming last days we need one thing more than hope, and that might be courage.
Hope we have. God gave us hope in the Garden of Eden.
Courage is something needed periodically.
When did God give courage? I remember the stories of Moses, Joshua, Gideon first. David had courage.
Courage was shown in most of our favorite Bible stories, and it came from the Lord because the Bible characters usually had pretty outstanding faults.
Are you ready for being a character in a Bible story?
Since the Bible is about 30% prophecy, much of which has been already fulfilled, we know that there are things yet to come.
The prophecies are being fulfilled in our age, just as they were in the time of Christ. We are approaching the end of the church age, and people are acting “as in the days of Noah.”
—another prophecy.
So what we need now is courage. I’m seeing many of my friends looking rather faint lately. The spiritual battle has been ruthless. Many are sick (myself included) spiritually, weakened from the trials and trouble the enemy has pitched our way.
Don’t lose heart!
Look at the WWII soldiers and learn from their courageous example. Many bravely faced their death for a greater good, a greater cause.
Those responsible for wars will not go unaccountable.
Let us learn from the soldier metaphor that is also used in Scripture to bolster our own walk with the Lord.
We need God’s powerful help in becoming courageous.
Not my will, Lord, but Thine!
But still—–
MARANATHA!
