MEN OF VALOR
II Samuel 31:11-12
"Now when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and buried them there."
What distinguishes a valiant man? Valor is defined as "strength of mind or spirit that enables a man to encounter danger with firmness; personal bravery." A valiant person is willing to sacrifice his own comfort and safety in order to do what is right. Saul may have been a lousy king, but he did not deserve such ignominious treatment. These valiant men put their own selves at risk in order to give Saul and his sons a proper burial. It takes strength of character to be a valiant person. I want to be a valiant follower of the Lord Jesus and be willing to put my own comfort, my reputation, and my very life at risk to do what is right.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Valor calls for strength of mind and spirit to do what is right.

Have a valiant day. Love you.
