Courage

“Dangers, of course, there must be; how else can you keep a story going?”
C. S. Lewis, “On Stories,” in Essays Presented to Charles Williams (Grand Rapids, 1974), page 91.
Let’s not be surprised or dismayed by dangers, setbacks, oppositions, hardships as we advance the gospel.  God is telling a story through us that requires — and imparts — courage.  In this world, as the poster says, truth needs a soldier.
“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).
