Ahimaaz and Jonathan: Loyal Servants
Everyday Heroism At the forefront of my mind the last several days has been the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

These inspiring glimpses into real individuals’ lives remind me that there are still people who believe in ideals greater than themselves, and are willing to sacrifice for those ideals. I wrote the poem below describing another set of heroic deeds by everyday people when their national government was experiencing an attempted overthrow. May it encourage us to be faithful to our King – Jesus – Who is worthy of our highest loyalty. We never know when/if we may be called upon to do a heroic deed, but if we are faithful to Him in the little things, we will be faithful in the crisis moments. Ahimaaz and Jonathan “...
