Abraham Lincoln is a president I have always greatly admired. He came from humble beginnings and was a self-taught man. He stood for many when they had no voice. He made highly unfavorable decisions yet did not back down. As the president I most revere, I think we can reap from his leadership and knowledge and apply his wise counsel to today. In the face of adversity he had great courage. If only I could have an ounce of his courage.
“To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.”
~~ Abraham Lincoln ~~
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I too can have limitless courage. All I must do is call upon the name of my LORD and he will strengthen me. He will emblazon me with the courage to face all he presents before me. He will wrap me in his truths and instill in me the heart of a lion, “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
