In this technology world, true leaders and champions could be brought to the forefront, if people decide to do so.

In this technology world, true leaders and champions could be brought to the forefront, if people decide to do so.

The beauty of technology, if utilized in the right manner, could bring out those leaders not only during the current times, but also from the past. For example, we have heard of all founding fathers, but the story of George Wythe, not many would have heard.

This is true that many real contributors and path changers were lost in history independent of cultures, countries, religions, races and more for various reasons.

These true leaders also tend to be deep thinkers, and could understand nuances of life not only where they live, but also in other places due to accrued wisdom. As the world usually opts for blabber-mouth and flamboyance, we miss out on those true level-5 leaders, who are actually or had actually run/ran the show behind the scene.

Let us take it on us to bring out those true talents.

The Midnight Ride

On April 26, 1777, Sybil Ludington, 16, learned the British were about to attack Danbury. Her father, Colonel Henry Ludington, had a militia of 400 men, but they were on furlough and needed to be alerted. Sybil jumped on her horse, tore out through the pouring rain, and raced from village to village assembling the soldiers. At one point, she fought off a bandit. She rode all night, covering forty miles—twice the distance of the ride by Paul Revere. Yet few of us have heard of Sybil Ludington because Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote: “Listen, my children, and you shall hear / of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.”

We owe a lot to all the Revolutionary midnight riders—there were several—but they also show us the uncertainty of fame. Real heroes are often neglected and few are remembered for long. But we have a God who sees every sacrifice, knows every effort, rewards every kindness, and carries every burden. He never forgets the smallest task we do for Him.

Fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, but the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
