COT: COURAGE IS ABOUT ACTION
F3Omaha HIM have delivered lots of inspiring COT messages on Courage. I am always inspired by the F3Omaha HIM and how they embody courage. It is a topic that men have a particular interest in. There are entire books written about courage.
My message this morning is intended to be really simple. If you breakdown courage to its essence, courage is about taking action. The most courageous acts are when someone does what no one else is willing to do. Courage happens when we do the things that we may not want to do because these actions can be difficult to do – mostly in our minds.
This morning, I encourage you to take action. Every PAX member at the Mess Hall courageously took action when they rose out of the fartsack and posted in the gloom. I ask the Mess Hall PAX to consider where they need to take action today. What actions are we avoiding in our lives. That is where real courage happens.
We ended in prayer.
Grace & Peace,
Wait Time
