“Either you run the day or the day
runs you.” -Jim Rohn
When training for a marathon (26.2 miles), each week you run
some shorter days (4 - 8 miles) and a longer day (9 -18 miles), to add up those
miles to reach the target total. When
I first started training I could do shorter days easily, but it’s the longer
days that I sometimes dreaded.
Each mile can feel like a struggle, not only physically but also
psychologically. Likewise we all have
days that feel long. Maybe you’re
tired of fighting the same temptation, or your boss is belittling you, or you’re
in constant fear of a financial crisis. Today I encourage you to keep moving forward because through
the struggle you are getting stronger.
For
the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it
yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it
(Hebrews 12:11, ESV).
