The secret of true Christian courage is to have faith in God.
Bessie was just a little girl of five, and at the Sunday school treat she was reciting her piece. She said a few words, then her lips quivered, and she burst into tears.
Her father, who had been standing behind a curtain, stepped out and asked, “Why, Bessie darling, what is the trouble? I thought you knew your piece well.”
“So I do, Daddy, but I couldn’t see you. Let me stand where I can look into your face, then I won’t be afraid.”
Christian boys and girls, and older ones too, need not be afraid. They can look into the face of Jesus and know that He is all for them, just as David found Him to be. He will give you courage and strength to do his will, whatever that might be.
