There's no qutting

Well, yesterday was a cardio day. I HATE cardio days. I know they are a necessary evil. I know that they are benefiting me in ways that I will one day realize. I know that doing the cardio will help me in the long run. But, as I climbed on that elliptical yesterday, there wasn't a lot of want to.

It's not just cardio that we have to, sometimes, overcome. We are often confronted with things that are difficult and taxing, that just plain suck. Yet, we have to find a way to get through it; we have to find the strength to muddle to a finish.

Today's word is a simple prayer that reminds me from whence my strength comes. It says, "Thank you, LORD, for giving me the strength to keep going when all I really want to do is give up."

Psalm 121 begins by saying, "I lift my eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help. My help comes from the LORD, which made Heaven and earth." GOD gives me the strength to keep on going when all I want to do is quit.

We will all face those things that will cause us to want to throw our hands up and say, "I give up." When those times occur, and they will, call on GOD. He will give you what you need to keep going because He loves to see His children succeed.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
