As I lie in bed I'm trying to sleep because I work in the morning, I can't help but think about the movie "Courageous." Last night my wife and I went to see this movie, which portrays 5 men attempting to live life courageously as they do right by their children and wives even when life is tough. It is in the tough moments of life where their integrity is tested. This makes me wonder about my own life and if I will in fact stand strong to what I know God would have me do? Will I cave like a coward because the answer isn't simple? Hopefullynot. I want to be one who is willing to stand with integrity by making the right choices no matter the level of difficulty or how alone I may become. God gives strngth to His children to be witnesses for Him and will not make us do it alone. It is in this truth that I find comfort. God calls me to stand strong, sometimes alone in human standards, but never without Him. I'm blessed to have a wife who also wants to live as God calls, butnot everyone is so blessed with support from another human. But God will never leave your side.
This is what's on my heart and I hope you may feel God's hand helping you stand with integrity as you do what is right as Christ's child wand not what seems right in the sight of a sinner.
