Fear is worse than any disease. It stifles imagination, intimidates planning, and then shuts down hope. What can be, due to bullying fear, shifts to what might have/could have been.
The temptation of a hopeful faith (as in boy David) is so effective that opposing forces send Goliaths to put the scare into the dreamers. How many great tactics for blessing mankind have been aborted on the fields full of frowns, scowls, and browbeating words?
Yet, the reverse is also true. Fabulous accomplishments have succeeded because brave men and women refused to buckle at the hands of the intimidators. Courage was called for by leaders like Joshua. The need remains...always remains.
The enemy has always used intimidation. We are called to be on to such tactics of deep warfare. While we have spent much time building arsenals of faith, may we walk with the boldness to activate our deep spiritual vision.
May we change the world, not just for good, but for an entirely new kind of life.
