| Overcoming oppositions will make us great! |
-James 1:2-4 (ESV)
When I was in college seminary, I used to go to the gym with a brother-seminarian. We wanted to have gym-fit bodies. We wanted to develop our muscles. There were times that our gym instructor put on more weights to what we were lifting. He aid it will help us develop muscles. Yes, our physical muscles. He pointed to those others who were with us in the gym having beautiful muscles and cuts. (Well, I wasn't able to have those cuts. hehe)
Going back to those experiences while I was still a gym fanatic. I realized that indeed oppositions are very natural in life.
Yes, I've been opposed for so many times. I got many oppositions in life.
To develop a gym-fit body, to develop physical muscles we need to overcome oppositions. Those heavy weights we were lifting were the oppositions that helped us develop great bodies (which was not realized in me! Huh!)
This simple means that overcoming oppositions, overcoming challenges and adversities will develop our character muscles. Can make us great people.
Do not be afraid to be opposed, then. Do not be afraid of challenges, they will make you better people.
Prayer:
Lord, please sustain us and give us the strength to overcome diffilculties. Make us learn from them to make us people of good characters. Amen.
