Reflection 44: With God Watching Over You, You Never Have to Be Afraid to Face Danger

When You Choose Courage Over Safety, You Will Reap Your Own Unique Reward.
Sometimes there's nothing wrong with playing it safe, considering your options, not rushing to follow the herd. Sometimes playing it safe can save you from financial ruin or physical harm. But the times you don't want to seek safety are the times when God is calling you to something good and noble, and that something requires the proverbial leap of faith. If you hold back instead of leaping, you'll miss a great adventure. God doesn't want you to play it safe in the area of moral issues. He expects all His men to take a stand for what is right, to speak out whenever and wherever they see wrong being done. Stay courageous, my husband, and God will reward you appropriately, both in this life and the next.

'God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right, even though I think it is hopeless.' ~Admiral Chester W. Nimitz

Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord. Psalm 31:24
