I was introduced to some software that's very aptly named, Brave. It's an amazing browser that blocks unnecessary adverts from whatever you are reading or watching. What a joy!! Being able to listen to music or videos without the annoying cut aways, is really awesome!
I'm amazed that the developers of this product have had the courage to fight popular culture and end this abusive practice. Having adverts thrust on you is just not pleasant.
In life and especially our faith we have to learn to be Brave! We have to stand strong against worldly influences and resist following norms that are simply not Godly. Society will tell us what to think, what to eat, what to wear and what we should or should not do.
Being brave and saying No will honour God and bring glory to Him when the results we achieve are greater than we could have had if we had chickened out and given in to the pressure that society places on us.
Are you willing to be brave and stand strong in the Lord?
