THE COURAGE OF NEVERTHELESS “courage” | tolmaó (τολμάω) | “to dare, to act boldly in the face of direct, imminent personal danger, to do something that carries massive, irreversible consequences.” “Corpse” | ptóma (πτῶμα) | “a carcass, a lifeless body” Faithfulness is not defined by your ability to change the outcome; it is defined by your willingness to show up and honor God even in the midst of the ruin. Reflect: What is the one act of faithfulness in your situation that you have been postponing? II. THE LOYALTY OF NEVERTHELESS “Saw” | theóreó (θεωρέω) | “fixed, careful, deliberate observation.” Reflect: Are you on a Saturday season of your life? Faithfulness is not just found in the moments when you are marching forward, conquering territory, and winning spiritual victories. Faithfulness is found when you are entirely helpless, yet you refuse to leave the room. III. THE SILENCE OF NEVERTHELESS The silence of God is never the absence of God.Reflect: Can you trust God in your Saturday silence?
