2. DO what’s right every time.
This is the test of COURAGE.
“Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right.” Psalm 106:3 (NIV)
“You will be safe, if you always do right, but you will get caught, if you are dishonest.”

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear.

“If you keep yourself pure, you will be a utensil God can use for His purpose.
Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master
to use you for every good work.”
