How To Get Your Face On a Box of Wheaties

From today’s reading…

When you are in the gym lifting weights, the natural form to which you gravitate when performing an exercise is usually wrong.

People arch their backs and bounce the bar off of their chests when doing bench presses.

Others rock their entire bodies to pull up the curl bar up.

And the few that bother doing legs choose to put hundreds of pounds on the hip sled instead of 1/5th the weight on the squat rack because, let’s face it, it looks more impressive to push a lot of weight on the hip sled…and squats are hard.

Our natural tendency as fallen humans is to seek the path of least resistance.

Our calling as followers of Christ is to resist that path of least resistance.

It’s not easy, but nobody ever got their face on a box of Wheaties—or became a saint—for taking the easy way.

Today we are reminded that “the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient.”

All you have to do to avoid His wrath is…

Stay the course. Keep the faith. Endure.
