Day 47
Refuse the harmful shortcut
In a world where power rewards easy compliance, courage makes material risk visible and refuses the harmful shortcut.

The source
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Deuteronomy 30:19 · King James Version
The thought
Courage is not the performance of fearlessness; it is faithfulness to truth and neighbor when silence would be easier.
A task for today
Name one material risk directly, then offer the least disruptive path that protects life and truth.
