It is truly amazing what human beings can train themselves to do when they focus on a goal. Run a marathon. Go back to school at night and get a masters degree or a doctorate. Climb the world’s most treacherous mountain. Love your child with impossible patience. Fly an airplane. Lose great amounts of weight. Memorize long passages of text. Rise to the top of your company.
All of these things begin with a goal, and then plenty of hard work, focus and determination. You can change your spiritual life in this way as well. Choose to resist evil, and to walk a godly path. Focus on it every day. Let nothing deter you from your goal.
You can do this. You have it within you to lift up, to bless, to encourage, to help and to serve. Let the training begin today.
Amen, that is the truth.
