“The godly people in the land are my true heroes!” Psalm 16:3 (NLT)
We rightly claim that local law enforcement, firefighters,
EMS and military personnel are heroes.
They are heroes, not because of a single act of heroism, but because
they show up to work every day. They are
in the struggle day after day willing to face whatever may come.
Life is like that for all of us. We never know what we will face as we start
each new day. As a believer in Jesus
Christ, doing our best to live according to God’s will can be a struggle
at times. The Bible says that Jesus was
tempted the same way we are but He never sinned. We are not so fortunate; we sometimes fail to
do the right thing. But we don’t quit;
we don’t give up; and that makes us the hero that the Psalmist describes.
Later in the same Psalm, it says, “I know the Lord is always
with me. I will not be shaken, for He is
right beside me.” Knowing that, we can
face anything.
So rise and shine and give God the glory. Face the
challenges of a new day. Be a hero!
