You have to do your own growing no
matter how tall your grandfather was. –Abraham Lincoln
I was running through my neighborhood
one evening, carefully watching for cars and wearing a bright neon safety vest
so cars could see me. I thought I’d protected myself well until all the
sudden, out of nowhere a beast ran up and wildly barked at my heels. With
haste I anxiously jumped 3 feet before realizing the beast was a schnauzer!
I honestly had the temptation to get on all fours and show it my teeth,
growl, sneer and bark back to scare it away. As Christians when someone
attacks us undeservedly, sometimes our instinct is to react with our base
nature and fight that person on their level. It’s in these times God
allows circumstances to test if we’ll act and react in a Christlike manner,
standing tall and staying the course.
James 1:3 - because you know that the testing of your
faith develops perseverance.
