Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."  You have need of courage in this hour!

Adrian Rogers tells about the man who bragged that he had cut off the tail of a man-eating lion with his pocket knife. Asked why he hadn't cut off the lion's head, the man replied: "Someone had already done that."  (www.sermonillustrations.com).  It's easy to face the lions in our life when someone else has already faced them head on.  That's the problem with so many of our problems - we don't face them head on.  We have need of courage!

My prayer for you today is to face your giants or problems head on.  Don't run from the battle, run to the battle and resolve the issues at hand.  Be brave and of good courage!  God is on your side, who can be against you?  Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world!  

Blessings on you!
