In the famous movie, The Wizard of Oz, one of the characters is
looking for courage. Ironically, that character is a lion! He goes with
the crew to ask the wizard to give him courage. But in the end, he
finds out that he had courage all along. He mistakenly thought that
since he was scared in the face of danger that he was lacking the
ability to be courageous. Being a Christian can be quite the same. We
are faced on many fronts with dangers and threats, both big and
small. And our world adds their voices of panic to our own internal
ones on a daily basis. So we can be scared – and often with good
reason. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be courageous. In fact, our
mission as children of God depends on us living with courage. Let’s
look at how David thought this issue through and see if we can learn
from one who has walked this path before us!
