[Songs in the Night - March 8]
Be strong and of a good courage. Joshua 1:6
COURAGE is always admirable, but there is a
moral courage which should rank higher far than
physical.
This moral courage is greatly needed among
the Lord's people; without it they can do nothing, and
many of their difficulties in the Christian way are because
they fail to appreciate this matter and fail to
develop this courage.
It requires real courage of the
highest order to stand for the Lord's truth and his people
when these are misunderstood, misinterpreted,
antagonized.
It takes real courage to stand for the
light when the great Adversary with a world-wide
influence brands it as darkness and leads an assault
against it.
It requires real courage to denounce the
darkness meekly, persistently, when it has on its side
wealth, culture, influence, and churchianity. Z'07-283 R4062:1 (Hymn 261)
