Worthy of the Crowd

If you go back to the battle field where David slew Goliath, you can zoom out and see Israel's army go out every day for forty days yelling "Strong and Courageous" as they cowered before the giant. Finally David showed up and rejected the voice of fear and chose the voice of faith. In the gospels, when Peter courageously stepped out of the boat toward Jesus, eleven other Apostles sat there and watched. Today, a great crowd of heroes watches us to see if we will stay in the battle lines or in the boat or if we will follow their lead into the arena of faith (over fear). Are we worthy of that crowd?
