Be Brave enough if you enter in a Battle-Field.

Never run from battle,for life itself is a battle field.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph. 6:12 (NIV)

I have never, on the field of battle, sent you where I was unwilling to go myself; nor would I advise to go a course which I myself was unwilling to pursue. You have been good soldiers; you can be good citizens. Obey the laws, preserve your honor, and the Government to which you have surrendered can afford to be, and will be, magnanimous.

He was remarkably brave in battle, but he also wanted recognition for this, and was remarkably weak in his personal life. He'd face the French and Spanish fleet much easier than he would face his first wife.

When you're scared but you still do it anyway, that's brave.
