If I were training to get stronger,
and I could easily lift 10 pound weights,
a trainer would surely take those out of my hands
and give me heavier weights.
I would find that I couldn't do what I could before.
That wouldn't mean I just got weaker.
It would mean I am about to get stronger.
My trainer would simply tell me to lift,
rep after rep, over and over.
And no whining.
I can miss that principle outside the gym.
Instead of embracing the training,
I can feel like I'm just a wimp.
I don't want to lift the weight. I want to whine.
The Holy Spirit comes to remind me
I will be in training for a very
long time.
Perhaps
eternity.
Get
lifting.
For who are
you,
O great mountain of human obstacles?
You shall become a mere molehill!
Zech
7:7
Though obstacles seem bigger than they
used to,
I have been training and the Lord
has been strengthening me.
God arms me
with strength,
and He
makes my way perfect.
Psalm 18:32
Going to
the gym can seem overwhelming.
The
challenges today can seem equally overwhelming.
But Holy
Spirit is my trainer and He knows how
to train me
in strength.
I go back
to what I know:
every day
is training day.
He guides
me and leads me.
He gives me new strength.
Psalm
23:3
