Once, in what my dad considered to be a highlight of his life during World War 2, while stationed in Attu , Alaska, he was assigned to a guard detail when Joe Louis came to visit. Joe Louis was the world heavyweight boxing champion from 1937 until he retired in 1949. In 1946 Louis prepared to defend his title against a skilled fighter named Billy Conn. Louis was warned to watch out for Conn’s great speed and his tactic of darting in to attack and then moving quickly out of his opponent’s range. In a famous display of confidence, Louis replied, “He can run, but he can’t hide!”

How’s your confidence? Do you see yourself on a mission for God that cannot be stopped? If so, no amount of intimidation should be able to deter you from your mission. The devil can cause a ruckus in our lives, but we will not be sidelined. He can run, but he can’t hide. Be encouraged today!
