Do You Resist Resistance?
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Okay - I don't mean resisting temptation. Although, that is very wise.
No, I''m talking resistance to the very thing that could help you become a better individual…over and beyond fleeing from the enemy.
If you do, don’t worry you’re not alone.
Resistance can be uncomfortable and that’s why many people tend to stay in a place of ease and contentment. But, resistance in many areas of life can actually help you grow and become stronger.
For instance…mentally, studies prove that when you workout using resistance training one of the most profound effects on the brain is the marked improvement in memory and in cognitive skills. Another bonus to working out over and beyond the physical benefits, don’t you think?
But, what about resistance when it comes to taking that next step that might seem difficult at the time (because of the unknown or the unease of it) to get you to your next leveling of living. That could be in your health, relationships, business, finances, or faith.
It's time to stop resisting important things, like taking action with your health. Or what about having that difficult conversation with a friend or family member, taking a class that could help you advance in your career, or get financial education to better equip your future.
That list goes on, but only you know the area in which you are most resistant. I encourage you to….
GO THERE!
It is "there", in which you will grow and become a stronger and better person. Don’t resist resistance – the resistance will serve you well!
