Scripture: Philippians 1:[20] I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.<\/p>\n
Observation: Courage is something I lack, no matter what it is. I\u2019m not sure what I\u2019m afraid of or what I think the consequences might be if I stand up for what is right. I know I\u2019m afraid at times of being embarrassed, but why? Why should I care what others think if what I\u2019m doing is right by Jesus. Jesus tells me if I acknowledge Him before men, He will acknowledge me before the Father and He also tells me if I deny Him before men He will deny me before the Father.<\/p>\n
Application: I should realize I\u2019m only here because God chose for me to be here. I have no other purpose but God\u2019s for my life. If I\u2019m going to be afraid, I should be afraid of letting my Father down, not others. I need to make a stand for Jesus, because what can man do to me?<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord forgive me for my cowardness in the past and be with me and give me the strength and courage it will take to lead a life in glory and honor to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
