Courageous

"Lord make us Courageous" Casting Crowns.

There is a song called Courageous by Casting Crowns that says Lord Make us Courageous. Courage is defined as having characteristics of Bravery. There are people that God puts in our lives that exemplifies courage. For me at the moment it is my 12 year old son.

My son has a Chairi Malformation and suffers with headaches daily. Very debilitating headaches that cause him to shake and be dizzy and miss a lot of school. Through it all he stays positive and always has a smile on his face. There are times in my life that the pain from my artritis gets to be so bad and I will think of David and think that if he can get through what he is facing then I can too.

God calls us to be Courageous in all that we do, wither we are dealing with physical or mental pain. Sometimes we may never understand why we are going through a particular season in our life's, but through it we need to give God the glory and honor. His ways are not our ways.

In Psalms 40:12 -13 it says, "For troubles without number have surrounded me; my sins have overtaken me; I am unable to see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,and my courage leaves me. LORD, be pleased to deliver me; hurry to help me, LORD."

When Courage leaves us we know that God will never leave or abandon us, he is faithful and constant and we can always count on Him.
