Brave

"It's quiet.  It's early.  My coffee is hot.  The sky is still black.  The world is still asleep.  The day is coming.  In a few moments the day will arrive.  It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun.  The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day.  The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding of the human race.  The refuge of early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met...

I choose joy.  I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance.  I refuse the temptation to be cynical.  I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God.  I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God. 

If I succeed, I will give thanks.  If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when the day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest."
From Max Lucado's I Choose Love: When God Whispers Your Name

Psalm 37:4-6
Delight yourself in the Lord,
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord.
Trust also in Him, and He will do it. 
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.  Trust in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.
