Courageous Action

from Once a Day Devotional for Men

"Courageously and diligently we must act.
When it comes to relationships, the courageous take the time to develop the relationships. They invest the necessary energy.

When it comes to purpose, the courageous find a reason for living. They discover how God has gifted them. They seek ways to help others.

When it comes to responsibility, the courageous refuse to look the other way. They do their part and their fair share.

When it comes to spiritual direction, the courageous engage in the necessary disciplines to keep their bearings. These spiritual disciplines keep the wells of refreshment and renewal full of fresh water, leaving their souls with no possibility of drying and parching.

The courageous live by three life-changing words: Do it now!

They refuse to delay and to procrastinate. They don’t evacuate. They see what needs to be done and do it. They choose not to stand on the sidelines and merely watch. They get in the game. "
