Courage
“He was not that Light, but was sent to bear
witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world.”
(John 1:8-9)
Today’s Morsel:
Most people, when reading about John the Baptist, focus on how he was dressed
and what he was eating when he came. But John was more courageous than what
people may realize. It took courage to speak as John spoke as the
forerunner for Jesus. And it will take the same from us as His
disciples. If you are going to bear witness of the true Light in these
last days, which is Jesus, it’s going to require you to have the courage to
stand against sin, evil, and all the on the slaught of wickedness and
perversion that will come against you, your family, and the church. It’s
going to take courage for you to keep going in adversity. Now is not the
time to faint and throw in the towel. It is when you are hardest hit that
you must not quit. As E.E. Cummings said, “It takes courage to grow up and become who you
really are.”
Sing: I’ll
stand for Thee dear Jesus no matter the cost may be. I’ll spread the
gospel to the lost each day. And if it be Thy will Lord to send me over the
sea, I’ll go though death may come my way.
Jesus use me, O’ Lord, don’t refuse me, for
surely there’s a work that I can do. And even though its humble Lord help my
will to crumble. Though the cost be great I’ll work for you.
Thought For Today: “Courage is the most important of all the virtues
because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.” ― Maya Angelou
