It is an old tale often told but perhaps you have not heard of it, the story of the man who was bragging about how he had cut off the tail of a man eating lion with his pocket knife but neglected to say that someone before him had cut off the lion’s head.
WHAT IS COURAGE? The University was conducting a test. 10 University students were placed in a room and on a board in front of them were lines of varying length.They were told to raise their hands when the instructor pointed to the longest line.
But nine of the students had been instructed ahead of time to raise their hand when the instructor pointed to the second longest line.
One student had not been told. Then when the instructor pointed to the second longest line the nine students who had been pre-instructed raised their hands.
The un-instructed student did not at first raise his hand…that is until he looked around and saw that everyone else had raised their hands.
He knew they were wrong but three out of four times with a number of different groups the un-instructed student would eventually raise his hand too.
WHAT IS COURAGE? John Wesley said, “Give me a hundred men who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I will shake the world. I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; and such alone will overthrow the kingdom of Satan and build up the Kingdom of God on earth.”
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
I have always believed that courage is doing what you are afraid of…otherwise you are not being courageous.

A QUOTE FROM THE PRAYER SERIES
“When you prayed, first did you listen? Some people take the scripture that reads “Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth” and rewrite it to read, “Listen Lord, thy servant speaketh.” (1 Samuel 3:10)

Could
what you prayed for be considered a Christian prayer? Remember …if you
end your prayer with the words “In Jesus name” you certainly want to
have prayed a prayer he would approve.
Was it a prayer you really wanted to be answered, something you really wanted to take place, an improvement in your person you were really committed to following through on. A half hearted prayer is a wasted opportunity.”
