Be Courageous
I finally watched Courageous this evening–the movie in which men resolve to be true men of God. It’s an excellent film and one I highly recommend.
As I watched the men on the movie, I began to think about the Promise Keepers movement and the thousands of men who went to meetings and made similar resolutions. I wonder where those men are today. One thing that was brought out in the movie is that it’s easy to feel faith for decisions when not facing the challenges and trials of life. It’s when the hard times come that we must rely on God’s strength to stand firm in what He’s called us to do.
Although the movie focused on men, women need to hit this place too, where nothing matters but being the women God created us to be. As we draw near to God, He will help us do this. So many have a hard time seeing anything but their failures but God is in the business of redemption. Even if you’ve not been the mother, father, brother, sister, daughter, son or friend that God has called you to be, it’s never too late to start anew. You won’t get it right 100% of the time when you start but each time you ask God for help, you’ll move a little further down the road until everyone around you will notice the change. In time, you will be able to mentor others which could be the beginning of Revival.
Lord, help us all to be Courageous in our stand for You.
