Courage

When our world thinks of courage, we often think of our members of the military making heroic decisions to ensure the well-being of their brothers and sisters in arms, or perhaps our first responders like the story above, choosing to intentionally place their lives on the line for the sake of another. Let’s make it abundantly clear, these acts of selflessness are the definition of courage, and these men and women deserve far more honor than we give them. That said, these are not the only acts of courage our world witnesses on a daily basis, and we most certainly have opportunities to choose to be courageous whether or not we ever enter a combat zone or respond to a homicide in progress. That father who has no idea how to cope with the things he’s done but chooses to not pick up the bottle, instead choosing to pick up his Bible and get on his knees. Courage. That husband who feels disrespected, belittled, and worthless because of his wife’s words and actions, but chooses to respond with Christ-like love instead. Courage. When we are home alone and the temptation of pornography strikes, choosing to get our mind right and not be controlled or captivated by the lies of lust. Courage. That leader of the home choosing to get his family to church instead of hanging out with all of his buddies to watch the game. Courage. That provider, having no idea how they’ll make ends meet, but instead of allowing his marriage to dissolve into endless conflict, taking it to the Father in heaven, trusting He will make a way, and doing whatever it takes to ensure his family is cared for. Courage. When life’s countless distractions from sports, to social media, to hobbies threaten to waste our most valuable commodity, choosing to pour into the people around us instead, so that when that moment to impact eternity comes up, we have already placed that initial investment. Courage. These moments and so many others are examples of courage because we are choosing to stand up to the schemes of Satan. Satan doesn’t need us to believe in him, he just needs us to be distracted or paralyzed by fear. As the men of this generation, we must choose to confront these schemes head on. We must choose courage.
