Strength that endures

Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. I Chronicles 16:11

In my workout routine nothing challenges me more than running and nothing benefits me more than running. As I push myself beyond my comfort zone every step I take out of my comfort zone gets harder and more challenging. Though I want to give up I am encouraged by God to push even harder. God motivates me to run inspite of exhaustion. I have drawn closer to God because of something as simple as running. For God dwells outside of my comfort zone. He empowers me when I am tired and weak. Strength that endures is strength that is challenged and continues. One day when I wanted to give up God spoke to my heart "The race is not given to the swift or the strong it is given to the one that endureth unto end" God gives strength not to the fast or strong but to the one that He trusts will not give up but endure until the end.

God has placed desires in your heart to accomplish but you must know that there will be obstacles that we will have to endure, if you don't give up you will reach the end. If you desire to lose weight push yourself pass your comfort zone. Believe me it is not easy but if you are willing to change God will empower you to change if you endure the obstacles and pain require to receive change. His strength always endures receive His strength and never give up. God bless you.
