Streams in the Desert
In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Rom 8:37)
How can we be more than conquerors? We can receive from the conflict a spiritual discipline that will greatly strengthen our faith and establish our spiritual character. Temptation is necessary to establish and ground us in our spiritual life. It is like the fierce winds that cause the mighty cedars on the mountainside to sink their roots more deeply into the soil. Out spiritual conflicts are among our most wonderful blessings, and the Adversary is used to train us for his own ultimate defeat. The ancient Phrygians of Asia Minor had a legend that every time they conquered an enemy, they absorbed the physical strength of their victims and added to their own strength and bravery. And in truth, meeting temptation victoriously doubles our spiritual strength and weaponry. Therefore it is possible not only to defeat our enemy but also to capture him and make him fight in our ranks.
Endurance of hardship is the making of the person. Hardship builds character.

- Pretty sore so took today as a rest day. Was planning on a 4.2 mile ruck but will do that Saturday morning instead. Did some light low intensity calisthenics today but other than that trying to catch up on some sleep and stretch out the legs.
