Title: Press On
Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us – Hebrews 12:1c
Here’s the thing: I hate running! When the good Lord designed me, he did not have distance running in mind. This had no bearing to my college soccer coach who insisted we run countless miles a day, in 110-degree heat, in Southern California. My coach knew that to achieve our goals; we had to strengthen our lungs, our legs, and our hearts.
So too with the Lord. His will is that we work out the kinks by pressing on. For all who believe the destination is in sight, but we can’t give up no matter the struggle. Does your heart hurt? Perseverance and pushing on is what is necessary to heal it. Are your legs weary from the journey? Keep going, and he will strengthen you. Does it feel like the weight of the world is pressing on your soul? Persevere, in His strength!
Real Men persevere no matter the struggle.
