I love the words of King David on his death bed to his son Solomon as he becomes the king, “So be strong, show yourself a man, and observe what the Lord your God requires.” I love these words for other people! But these words are for me. In times of transition and temptation, it is all the more important to be strong, be men, and be obedient to God. Craig Groeschel writes, “You are only as strong as you are honest.” Show yourself a man tells me to be brave—not passive or wimpy when it comes to character.
