Wow I haven’t written in a long time…guess I better get busy! Here is an awesome quote from Max Lucado’ s book from the chapter on Global Calamity:
“Avoid Pollyanna optimism. We gain nothing by glossing over the brutality of human existence. This is a toxic world. But neither do we join the Chicken Little chorus of gloom and doom. “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” Somewhere between Pollyanna and Chicken Little, between blind denial and blatant panic, stands the levelheaded, clear- thinking, still-believing follower of Christ. Wide eyed, yet unafraid, Unterrified by the terrifying. The calmest kid on the block, not for lack of bullies, but for faith in his older Brother. The old people of God knew this peace: “Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident” (Ps. 27:3 RSV).” – Max Lucado, page 158 of Fearless
On the next page there is an awesome quote as well…”Courage is fear that has said its prayers”. Amen and Amen!
