It is good for us to remember how strong He is\u2014and how weak we are. I settled this issue a long time ago. I tell you I have talked to God more than I have talked to anyone else. I have reasoned more with God and had longer conferences with God than with anybody else.<\/p>\n
And what did I tell Him? Among other things, I told Him, \u201cNow, Lord, if I do the things I know I should do, and if I say what I know in my heart I should say, I will be in trouble with people and with groups\u2014there is no other way!<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only will I be in trouble for taking my stand in faith and honesty, but I will certainly be in a situation where I will be seriously tempted of the devil!\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, after praying more and talking to the Lord, I have said, \u201cAlmighty Lord, I accept this with my eyes open! I know the facts and I know what may happen, but I accept it. I will not run. I will not hide. I will not crawl under a rug. I will dare to stand up and fight because I am on your side\u2014and I know that when I am weak, then I am strong!\u201d<\/p>\n
