SABRINA
With four grandsons, superheroes are an obsession around our house. Courage seems to be the defining characteristic for superheros, whether leaping from tall buildings in a single bound, being faster than a speeding bullet, or having the powers of a genetically modified spider.
For most of us “non-superheros”, however, fear, more than courage defines us, allowing insecurity to seep in: we are not good enough, smart, funny or eloquent enough. If we're not careful, we can let the voices that accompany fear define us.
Looking through scriptures, however, we are reminded superheros are regular people, born of God, not technology. Noah, Moses, Joshua, David, Mary, to name a few, were ordinary people, called by God.
The truth is, we can easily let ourselves be defined by perceived inadaquacies. We are reminded in Romans 8:31, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” God can use each of us - if only we are willing. Sometimes to lead, sometimes to walk alongside. The question then, do we have the courage to become that regular ordinary Superhero in God’s plan?
