Wednesday, April 7, Courage

Courage, like most things in life, is a choice. To be courageous for Christ is the same thing. I must choose to stand for him in every situation. I doubt that I will ever face the persecution that my brothers and sisters in other countries face, but whatever comes my way, I must choose to stand for Christ. Satan throws things at us in unusual ways and it is easy to just keep quiet, go along with, or ignore the opportunity to stand. God has promised me that He will never allow more than I can handle to come my way. What a promise. Why then not stand for Him. When I read Word daily and communicate with Him Every morning, I start the day armed and ready to face what comes my way. I have missed my devotional time a couple of days recently and I have physically and mentally noticed a difference in my attitude. Father, help me to do my part to prepare for each day's battle. You have promised to be with me and to help me stand for you.
