Look, I'm not afraid to admit it...I love Rocky! I love Rock's common-man wisdom and draw strenght from it.
In the past year, I've drawn strength from one scene in Rocky Balboa (a.k.a. Rocky VI). Rocky challenges his son to get some courage and quit being rapt in what others think about him or his dad's desire to fight at 60 years of age. With a father's perception, Rocky understands his son's heart--he's insecure. You've got to check it out!
God also understands how insecurity paralyzes leaders. Knowing that Joshua needed a boost of courage after the death of Moses, his mentor, God spoke into his young, inexperienced heart. "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to teh right or to the left, that you may be successful whereever you go" (Joshua 1:6-8).
If you are fighting some insecurities, draw some strength from God...and, if necessary, from Rocky too.
