One of my favorite movies is the Untouchables. This 1987 film is based on the life of American Prohibition agent Eliot Ness as he tries to take down Chicago crime boss Al Capone. You might wonder what would attract a Mom to this movie about the mob. A well-written script, handsome characters and great acting are part of it. One memorable moment in the film comes when Ness is challenged by a friend who admits that bringing Capone to justice won't be easy and then he asks him, "So what are you prepared to do"?
That same question can be asked of all of us when times get hard; the job, the kids, the finances. How can we keep looking up when things appear to be going down?
Psalm 31:24 (ESV) says, Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord.
Believe life is worth fighting for, because Giving Up is NEVER an option.
