I love to go to the gym and workout. One of my favorite exercises is the bench press. You really have to push hard to lift that weight, and resist it as well to keep it from falling onto your chest. Life is no different, we have to really press against it to keep it from caving in on us. There are many situations that are unique to us that have tried to squeeze the life right out of us. We have had to resist allowing it to do so by first refusing to quit in our minds. We have had to force our minds to think about the outcome we want instead of what is looking us in the face at that very moment. Often we have to press for long periods of time just to keep hope alive. Really my friends, the one thing our enemy is trying to get us to do by coming against us like those weights were trying to come against my chest, is for us to just get tired and quit. Don’t quit my friends, I encourage you to press on!!
