Untutored courage is useless
in the face of educated bullets.
- George S.Patton Jr. -
that kind of struck me. i believe many of us are courageous. but it is untutored courage. and in the end, it does more harm to us than the fighting. imagine us fighting something getting blows from the enemy and at the same time, our own sword is hitting our hands and wounding ourselves. its kind of a big disadvantaged.
the book, 'Finishing Strong' by Steve Farrar, mentions that there's no reason in the world that any of use shouldn't finish strong. i was like, huh? really?
in Scripture,
'His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world cause by evil desires.'
2 Peter 1:3-4
we've been given everything we need for life and godliness. so, why is it that so many guys who've been given everything still don't finish strong?
it's because they choose to step out from under the Lord's protection and power.
ponder upon it.
