1 Chronicles 9-11

I can't imagine facing a wild lion out in the open. If I did I would hope that the lion would run away. The idea of going into a pit with a trapped lion is insane. The Bible doesn't explain why Benaiah went into the pit, only that he did. And only that brave warrior came out of the pit alive. With the same faith and courage he confronted a gigantic Egyptian warrior. Carrying only a club the warrior was victorious. These are examples of the spirit of bravery that God instilled in his people of faith. So there can be no question that God can give us whatever courage that we need to face the challenges of this life as well.
