Each one helps the other, saying to one another, "Take courage!"
Sometimes we face giants in the moral arena. Ethics on the job.
Faithfulness in the face of great temptation.
Some of the most
courageous people I know will never make PEOPLE magazine. They
are quiet people, modest people. But they stand for what is
right, they refuse to let go of their faith in times of great
stress, they hang in there when the going gets tough. In their
own quiet way they are heroic. They are people of great courage.
(Isaiah 41.6
NRSV)
Courage is the resource God gives us when we are fighting
giants. If we never go out to fight giants we have no need for
courage. Of course, life sometimes sends us giants. A fatal
disease, the loss of a loved one. The end of a dream or a career.
Loving God, help me to grow in the courage you have given to me so freely. Amen.
