Coward or Hero?
The hero & the coward both feel exactly the same fear, only the hero confronts his fear & converts it to fire. (Cus D’Amato, late American sports trainer)
Whether it’s as dangerous as fighting on a battlefield or simply facing a dreaded opponent in the sports world, fear might be the element that determines how one responds. As D’Amato says, both the coward and the brave may face the same fearful obstacle. The result will prove the character of both. Thankfully, faith in God can provide the strength to face our fears.
So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic . . . . For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you. (Deuteronomy 31:16)
