The way courage fits in with being accountable is portrayed as modern day heroes who will spontaneously rescue someone in trouble. The majority of these heroes are not seeking fame. Instead, these acts of bravery are a normal human response to dangerous situations.
Does accountability have to be taught to us? Accountability is governed by the strength of courage that is closely bound up with a person’s moral and spiritual values. The indwelling Holy Spirit strengthens the will to do what is good and right.
Doing what is good and right simply because it is good and right is a simple definition of accountability. However it still requires courage to overcome any cause of hesitation.
Courage derives from confidence that the Lord God is your defense and power and his strength is your support and security. With this solid underpinning, it is possible to face whatever life presents.
Don’t shuffle
along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look
up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ – that’s where the action
is. See things from his perspective.
~Colossians 3:2 The
Message
