Play the Man: Becoming the Man God Created You to Be

by Mark Batterson

Frankl wrote a book for the ages—Man’s Search for Meaning. In the book, Frankl reveals the secret to his survival: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.”2

There is no situation under the sun in which your ability to respond can be taken away from you. You may not control your circumstances, but you control your reactions to them. And that is what sets the men apart from the boys!

Fear is letting your circumstances come between you and God. Faith is letting God get between you and your circumstances.
