COT:
Burpees are hard! Sometimes, life is hard. Sometimes, this is by choice, e.g., burpees, running, rucking, etc. A lot of times, it is not: loss of jobs, loved ones, illness, etc. I listened to a Youtube video recently from an olympic marathoner talking about doing hard things. He mentioned that a lot of times he didn’t achieve the result he hoped for, but doing hard things still benefited him overall. We can be disappointed with the results of difficult tasks too. Many times they don’t turn out the way we would prefer, but they can still serve a purpose. I want to share a scripture that addresses this topic.
James 1:2-4 – “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
Hard things are in the moment difficult to see the benefit. As a result of getting through them, we can come out stronger. Our faith is the same. Testing of our faith through the difficult things of life can produce a stronger faith. One that can get us through this life to a heavenly reward.
