Courage

THANK YOU, GOD, FOR THE COURAGE TO FACE ALL THINGS WITH CONFIDENCE. I TRUST IN YOUR PLAN FOR ME!

Children may cover their eyes to keep from seeing something frightening they cannot cope with. Adults often do the same, though perhaps in a different manner. They may “overlook” things, preferring not to get involved. Or they may look with spiritually cloudy eyes, seeing difficulties where none exist. The immature adult, like the child, has a hard time facing the truth and coping with it.

No matter what our chronological age, we can be beautifully mature in our spiritual life. Spiritual maturity gives us insight. We do not have to close our eyes to any situation, for we can meet anything face-to-face. As the Psalmist says, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble,” so what is there to fear? What can shake our faith—our confidence—when we stand firm in Truth?

We grow in spiritual maturity as we learn to face all things. Sometimes we need to take action. At other times we simply need clarity and understanding. Only by facing seeming difficulties can we set them aright or remove them from our experiences forever. All that comes to you is for your growth and eventual good.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
