The Wall

[The Simple Plan]

I used to love cross country running. Haven't done it for a while now. One of the things I first hated was the stitch and "hitting the wall" we athletes talk about. The pain would either make or break you. Wondering why your legs feel like lead when you are gulping down copious amounts of oxygen into your lungs. But still running even though this pain was there to finish what you started.

How similar the Christian walk. Sometimes we hit the wall but never go past it. The pain and lack of air in our lives take precedence. Personally I believe God has used something like running to remind me that often I will hit that wall, but I need by his grace and through his mercy, to keep running............

God is my strength

Thanks for the post . Use to run too. And it speaks a very clear message.

I'm not much of a runner that's for sure! But I do understand what you are saying. When we hit those walls is when we must seek his help so he can help us overcome them.

Thanks for sharing this!

Amen! I think Christians today should be "feeling" that wall and resolving with renewed vigor to finish the course layed out before us.
