A hero can be anyone from anywhere. Being a hero and doing the heroic thing isn’t all that complex. It is incredibly simple.

The moment we live in is calling out for men and women to step up and be heroes. In this season we don’t need social media vigilantes or armchair quarterbacks, we need heroes to wade into the mess and forge a better future.

There is one group of people who provide us with the opportunity to do just that: children.

Changing the course of history, pushing back evil, advancing good, and making a difference - that is what heroes do!

In the face of seemingly impossible odds, what defined this hero was courageous endurance. He didn't simply run with men, he ran with the horses.

He's made it on few (if any) lists of heroes: Amos. He lived in broken times, and what he saw he couldn't remain silent about.

His superpower: He was an advocate.

X-Ray vision, super speed, flight. As kids we imagined a world filled with heroes with supernatural powers that saved the day and made the world better.

But superpowers and heroes aren't something to be relegated to childhood fantasy. Being a hero and changing the world is only a choice away.

Psalm 23 is the story of an ancient King, the nation of Israel, and it's also our story.

From the lowlands to the valleys, the mountain tops, and the plateaus, we can all find ourselves in the story of the sheep and their Good Shepherd.

Fear has a way of fooling us into believing things that aren't true, making unwise decisions, and distrusting God.

But faith and facts cause us to lean in a different direction. When you know that God is with you and that God is for you, fear has a way of fading away. You may be walking through something, but God is leading you somewhere.

There is no way to end up in the right place when you are heading in the wrong direction. That's why God offers to show us the right way to the best place.

The one who has the whole world in His hands has you in His hands. What if that one is using this season to make you still so you can take a step towards the better life He wants for you?

Who would you let guide you through life? Who do you know that you could trust with every decision, from the small everyday moments to the destiny shaping ones? The answer: no one.

Maybe the better question is: who should you let guide you?
