Christian singer Matthew West shared a powerful story about taking his daughter to camp. During an exercise, the daughters were blindfolded and the dads were told to guide them through the woods after repeating three instructions: I will never leave you. You can ask me anything. And only listen for my voice.
At first, he could guide her easily. Then the counselors signaled for him to remove his hand. He was no longer allowed to speak unless his daughter remembered she could ask him anything. Eventually, they got off track on their hike and a counselor quietly led her into a ditch without her realizing it.
After standing there blindfolded and confused, she finally asked, “Dad, are you there?”
Matthew said he teared up as he answered, “Yeah. I’m here.”
This moment reminded him how often we forget the same truths about God: that He never leaves us, we can ask Him anything, and we need to listen for His voice.
Ok. So many are rediscovering courage as a virtue. This is good. We need more of this.
But wisdom, gentleness, patience, and seeking peace are also virtues.
Yes, there are times to overturn tables. But not every table is asking to be flipped. Wisdom and the leading of the Spirit are needed. God, give us wisdom.

@realDailyWire This brought tears to my eyes. I will never understand how “rational,” “logically-thinking” adults would ever think doing these things to children is okay. Thank you for sharing this! #FightForChildren
