pointing proudly to his soldiers who stood fearlessly in place, he said,"Behold, the walls of Sparta -10,000 men and every man's a brick!" We have something far greater than even the legendary, fearless Spartan army. We have God and a host of angels who stand firmly between us and the enemy. When pressure mounts, when we experience a loss of income, when we are persecuted for our values and beliefs, faithfulness to our fearless King will see us through, for though the battle is raging, He is standing watch over us, protecting us against destruction.
We have the ability to be "a brick" during the difficult and trying times in our lives. We just have to come alongside God who is already guarding us, and remain faithful and fearless.
When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.
