For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
Physical endurance comes from sustained and pressurized training. Charles Zimmy established swimming endurance records as he swam for challenges of 80 consecutive hours, 100 continuous hours, and many more thereafter. The amazing thing about Zimmy is that he had no legs. He had lost his legs beneath the wheels of a trolley at the age of nine. Excuses just aren't part of the makeup of successful people and Charles Zimmy exemplified this. As Christians, we are faced with trials, testings and tribulations constantly. We have to keep in mind, however, that the challenging situations in our life give us the chance to develop the endurance of our faith, for faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. Has your faith ever been tested by circumstances that were out of your control? Did you or the people around you grow stronger in your faith from those challenges?
