Pastor has been doing a series on heroes. How today's heroes are not good heroes. How we tend to be disappointed. He made a point in saying, maybe that's because our criteria or standards are wrong. When you think about it, theres not very many heroes today. The true heroes you'll never hear about in the news. You'll never really see them on tv, at least not for who they are! Last Sunday he challenged us to be a heroe! If we as the body of Christ stand together, and stand tall, sooooo much can be done for Him! So much change for the better can take place. We can give our young people heroes again! True heroes, that should they follow, their lives wont end in drugs, and other sins. God can bring them hope through us! This world is dark, but with God in us, we can drastically light it up. Not on our strength, never on ours! But leaning on Him, thats when victories are won. We need to pray For one another, AND With one another! Lets take on the world in His name! With Him we can not fall, unless He calls us home. May we be like Job, he's my heroe. God did give Satan permission to wreck his world. But Job was able to stand knowing he lived for God, he lived right. And he may not have understood why it was happening. He was honestly questioning God, but he never lost his respect for God. He still knew that God was his only salvation. He lost so much, but in the end he stood stronger than ever! God is ours, and the worlds salvation. They need to see it!

Yes, we need heros like JOB. I actually started reading Job in my devotions.
I think he puts us to shame when we are faced with our trials.
