Even Now

Image result for even now
When we're are struggling, when we are weak, when we are hurting, When we have everything but the kitchen sink thrown at us we must carry on. We must continue to move forward. We must continue to fight sin, learn scripture, pray.

If you ever talk to a foot ball player they will tell you that that week is the toughest most grueling week of training that kicks off the season, and begins a full time commitment to the game. Also to begin service in the military you must first make it through boot camp. During both of these times the people involved commit fully to the process and push themselves harder then they have ever been pushed. 

Routines change, discipline is developed, bad habits are broken, and only those who are determined to endure survive.

Run Your Race to Win(Berean Study Bible)
1 Corinthians 9:24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable. 26Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air. 27No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified. 


Have you been to spiritual boot camp? Are you in a time where you are struggling and feeling broken? Are you questioning you commitment? Time to press through the pain and dive in. That's where the rewards come in. Not when you quit, slack off, or back down but when you press through.
