Through all these recent events, however, I drew strength from their example. Their lives show that God sometimes picks unusual people to do His bidding in difficult times. What they had in common is the one thing God demands of all those He calls to serve. He demands that they stand firm to the end. Heroes leave a legacy beyond their own lifetimes.
Heroes understand that they are serving generations to come.
O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come. Let's plunge into the battle. Let's fight the good fight. And through God's grace, let's make sure we walk off the field the winners.
