Strength, Power, and Endurance: The cornerstones of conditioning your faith
Three qualities that strength and conditioning coaches seek to develop in their athletes are:
- Strength
- Power
- Endurance
Strength is a measure of how much force you can produce. More strength means you can more easily push through an opponent.
Power is a measure of how fast you can produce that force. More power means you are faster, can jump higher, and can more swiftly move an opponent.
Endurance is a measure of how long you can exert force. More endurance means you have more capacity to do work and can outlast an opponent.
Conditioning Your Faith
Obviously, these three qualities are vital to your performance on the playing field ...
But they are also vital in your walk of faith!
Colossians 1:11 says:
"Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience"
What I want to ask you is ...
How are your strength, power, and endurance in your faith?
How strong is your faith?
Are you able to take on challenges that might crush others around you?
How powerful is your faith?
When a challenge comes your way, how swift are you to lean on GOD so the two of you can move it?
How much endurance do you have in your faith?
When others around you are falling by the wayside, do you have the capacity to persevere to the other side?
Training for Your Faith
Of course, you develop physical strength, power, and endurance in the weight room.
Are you developing spiritual strength, power, and endurance in your spiritual weight room?
Are you spending time:
- In prayer
- In your Bible
- With other believers who can challenge and develop your strength, power, and endurance
Athletes and coaches for Christ, I wish you well on your journey of wielding strength, power, and endurance in your faith, and I send love, gratitude, peace, and blessings to you!
May GOD inspire YOU every step of your way,
Kyle
