Burn, Grind repeat!

Push through the burn.

Ever work out and feel the lactic acid build up and the burn sets in… in bodybuilding this separates the men from the boys. Pushing through the burn.

In powerlifting it is pushing through the grind. When the squat stalls or the deadlift sticks… you keep pushing until it moves

 

In life there are a lot of burns and grinds… how do we as men get through them. What does the bible say about it?

 

Here are 4 things we see! 

 

 

Expect the pain - and plan for it… not only the pain you expect but the pain you don’t expect. 

So you are trying to save up for a great anniversary… and the car breaks down. You are ready for the pain of scrimping and saving and ready for the unexpected breakdown car trauma… but then tell yourself things like “even if both cars break down, my bicycle breaks down, if I have to take a bus I will save the money”. 

Sometimes we just don’t have the motivation because we just don’t have enough pain.

Expect it, revel in it, ask for more and move forward! 

 

Shad Shack and Benny… look God can save us, but even if he doesn’t - we aint going to bow. They expected the pain, and expected to still not bow and face even greater pain. 

Daniel 3:18

 

 

Focus -   - Lion tamer advice. Be where you are supposed to be at all times. The devil prowls around like a lion- don’t forget it!

 

1 Peter 5:8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 But resist him, firm in your faith,

 

 

Destroy excuses - by that I mean, get excited about pushing past your excuses - by experiencing the worst that could happen and realizing it really was not that bad. 

We have excuses that emanate from what we don’t want to experience… but if you experience it and go through the pain… you then destroy the excuse by going through the pain. 

Get excited about not letting anything stop you. 

And by your example - you Get excited about helping others push through their excuses by motivating them with your story. 

 

Proverbs 22:13 The sluggard says, "There's a lion outside! I'll be killed in the public square!"

 

Solomon is stating this as a way to show us how foolish our excuses are and how unfounded they are! 

 

 

 

Plan your story - 

In the UFC there is a motto of those who are winners – they impose their will on the fight.  No matter how hard they get hit or how hard they fall, no matter how tight the grip or hold is… THEY  IMPOSE THEIR WILL ON THE FIGHT!

Might I state it this way: They impose their story on the fight! 

 

Psalms. 40:5 O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us.

    Your plans for us are too numerous to list.

    You have no equal.

If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,

    I would never come to the end of them.

 

I impose my story on my life. It’s simply this: no matter how bad it gets, God will get me through it and I will brag on him.
