Resist= to withstand the action or effect of
In exercise, we do resistance training, which is working against a weight or a force to increase the strength of your muscles.
In life, God never said it would be easy, however he said no matter what happens, he would be with us.
We are meant to stand against what is wrong in life. We are meant to stand against the things that arenot of God– hate, division, anger, lies, addictions…
Resisting is withstanding…
It trains us to become stronger.
We are meant to become stronger in our faith and lean into God. When we or people resist him, it is a test to us to not compromise to the world, but stand and with stand wrong and to always try to do what is right.
He is training and strenthening our muscles of faith when we are able to withstand everything that resists God.
It’s as the Marines, say, “Pain is weakness leaving your body.”
Spiritual pain is fear and doubt leaving your spirit, when you chose to lean into God to strengthen you. Keep your eyes on God and he will strengthen you.
Prayer, which is just speaking to God is the first step to grow closer to him.
The more you practice, the better you get.
