Endurance!

 Endurance is perhaps one of the most important elements of staying on the road to better health, because it is the force that keeps us going strong. Not surprisingly, the concept of endurance is mentioned often in the Bible because it is required to walk the path of faith in Jesus Christ...a path that is often filled with obstacles. 

The path to fitness (I'm sure you've noticed) is also filled with obstacles, but most of these obstacles reside in our own minds. This is where your endurance comes in: remind yourself that you can overcome those obstacles. Those hurdles aren't as high as they look! Your "I can" attitude partnered with your deep reliance on God's stength, will help you jump higher and go further than you ever thought possible.

Today ask God to help you stay focused on your goals. Ask Him to remind you often that the obstacles we see filling our path are mostly in our head and ask His help in overcoming them. Ask Him to fill you with great amounts of endurance so that, as you go further along on your fitness journey, the obstacles seem smaller and smaller.

Romans 15:5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.
