Today's Passage: 1 Samuel 17
It has been noted by many sociologists that over the last few decades that men have become more passive in nature concerning their marital and social relationships. This may or may not alarm you. However, this discovery has a lasting impact in the local church. Once people, specifically men, start to become passive in relationships, there are many things in life that they will soon be passive towards.
This relates to the famous passage of David and Goliath by focusing on one very important issue: courage. While David displayed many great things in this wonderful story, courage is always the trait that rings out to me. While he had the courage to fight the enemy, that is really not the focus of the courage I'm discussing. The courage I believe David most importantly displays is the courage to do the right thing.
All throughout life we face difficult circumstances, but every circumstance has the opportunity to do the right thing. People, specifically men, need to face reality and do the right thing. In our homes, jobs, work, and social lives, courage is something that society needs badly. This can only truly begin as a revolution if the local church takes responsibility. Today, I pray those who read this will decide to have the courage of David in life's circumstances.
