Hey, I have a question for you. Are you struggling to stand firm in your faith? Push through tough

times or make a difficult decision? Well, you're in the right place. Because today on Pastor Rick's

Daily Hope, we continue in a powerful series called Uncommon Courage.

And in this series, you'll discover how to stand boldly for the truth,

persevere through challenges, and step out in faith.

Please don't miss a single day of Daily Hope, because the courage you need starts with God.

And now again, here's Pastor Rick with the final part of a message called Standing Courageously for the Truth. Where do you need to stand for truth

today? Let me mention three very controversial areas. Number one, where you're going to need courage today to speak up

and stand up for the truth. Number one is the sanctity of life. And the sanctity of life is this.

God has a purpose for every unborn baby. God has a purpose for every unborn child. Now, think about this. God planned your life before you were

born. In fact, God planned your life before your parents was born. In fact, the Bible tells us,

this is the Christian worldview,

that before God created the universe, he thought of you.

Now, there are accidental parents, but there are no accidental babies.

There are illegitimate parents, but there are no illegitimate babies.

You may not have planned that child or God, your parents may not have planned you, but God planned you.

And God is bigger than human mistakes.

In fact, God is bigger than human sin.

In fact, God already knows every sin I'm going to ever do, and he goes, I'll fit that end of the plan too.

He doesn't cause sin, but God is so big, he could say, I can even take your mistakes and make it part of the plan.

And so God takes even the mistakes we make, and he says, I've got a bigger plan than you have.

So just trust me on this.
