Trust: TRUST OF NAPOLEON
Here is a story of the first Napoleon: The great battle was
impending. The commander was inspecting his troops. Turning from a
mass of undisciplined, inexperienced men before him, he said to one of
his generals, "These men I know nothing about." Then, as his eye ran
over a body of men who had been with him for a short time and knew
something of march, bivouac, and battlefield, he said: "These men I
think I can trust. Finally he turned to a division of troops who had
been with him in all his campaigns. They were the veterans of his
army. They had been baptized in blood and fire in many a fierce and
deadly struggle. As they stood before him with set lips and stern
countenances, ready and waiting for the onset of the coming battle,
the great commander turned from them with a heart pulsating with pride
and confidence, and said quietly to his officers, "These men I know I
can trust."
How shall we become men and women whom God can trust?
