What does it mean to act like a man in the context of 1 Corinthians 16:13? It means to be brave, to be courageous. Men should have a certain strength and courage about them because they are men. But women are also called to be courageous.
It is not just asking the Lord to strengthen us. It is also obeying the Lord by removing the avenues of temptation from our lives. Obeying the Lord is not just a passive thing. It is also an active thing, trusting Him as we act, as we take action. Action is more than just activity. Action has to do with attitudes of our heart. It has to do with things that we think about. We may take courageous action, but courage takes place in your heart.
We need the courage to confront what needs to be confronted in our own life, to see ourselves the way we really are, to admit what is really wrong. If we can’t draw the lines that God gives for our own life, we will have a harder time trying to connect the dots for others and their lives.
