We as a people have honored many for their courage. We look at courage as a wonderful attribute that we must have. We all want to be courageous. When we were, children playing, we were policemen, firemen, soldiers, generals, princes and people who we thought were worthy. We look at the founding father and see the courage it took to establish a nation. Courage doesn’t only happen on a grand scale. There is a young woman at the church I am attending, who only has one hand. She is on the worship team, singing in front of everyone. That is courage. There was an old woman who was rescued by the Lord from the worst part of her city. She chooses to go back into that part of the city that even the police won’t go. She said that someone needed to share the truth of God with those people. This is courage. I know parents that worked all their lives providing for the family and not realizing their dreams. So, that their family would have a chance to live a better life. This is courage. Then there are people who gave their lives, physically and spiritually, to change the world. Taking courage isn’t about not doing something. It is about doing what it takes, against all odds, to change your life and the world’s. I want close with this quote. “that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” This is courage.
