SETBACKS…ARE THEY REALLY?
Webster says…a setback is a reversal
in progress.
Whether it be a computer crash,(by
the way,
that’s why I was not with you
last month)
,a pulled muscle or a torn ligament…it
is
a disappointment on some level.
A setback
from what?, goals, dreams, intents
or just
everyday life. But is it really
a setback?
If a setback is truly a (reversal
in progress…
a turning around from moving
forward, the
opposite of progression), then
as long as
we are alive and growing…there
are no “real”
setbacks…the events merely become
absorbed
in as part of this process we
call our life…still
alive…still moving forward. Let’s
say, you
hit a wall….whether it be missing
your personal
weight goal…or bench weight….or
maybe even
an injury...is it really a setback?
I don’t
think so. Let’s look at it this
way…pause…
and step back,(why?, to get a
better look
at what you just ran into), then
reassess,
redirect, and continue to move
toward your
goal…..your ultimate goal…..whether
it be
health, strength, discipline,
or obedience.
There is a bigger picture out
there, than
we can sometimes see. I love
the story about
Jesus and His disciples crossing
the waters,
when a storm came up. Just like
His crew
then, we often now become alarmed
as things
catch us off guard and storms
come up in
our lives. Let’s remember to
encourage and
remind one another, we are not
alone, and
we will make it to the other
side….why, because
we put our faith, and our trust
in the one
who still calms the sea…..
