I started out the door to run the other morning, saw it was pouring rain and said to myself..oh great…guess I will have to wait or do the treadmill.
I went 10 minutes on the treadmill and said this isn’t gettin it. I looked outside and saw it was still raining. Then I thought…wait a minute..what’s the big deal…it’s 7 am..it’s water…you just woke up and don’t look good anyway as it is
who really cares!!!
So…I went out – began to run…got into a flow and had a great run.
I had a thought as I ran…you know …it is really pretty easy to run in nice weather…anyone can do it. But when it’s raining or colder…less than ideal conditions…then you really find out who is dedicated…who really has a passion for it. Not too many.
Its the same with Christanity I think. Easy to serve God..worship..praise when things are good. You’re up. But, how much harder to do it in a testing time. A time like right now where you really really need God to move. Things arre less than ideal at this moment.
The point is …God doesn’t change..He is worthy of our praise in any kind of weather..any kind of situation…I think you really see who is passionate or not when times turn tough…when the rain starts to fall. It’s easy to turn around and give up but why not trust God and keep runnin’?
