Embrace the suck! Teach your kids how to do hard things. Teach ourselves how to do hard things.
Somethings you get to choose - somethings you don’t… but the person who chooses the hard things has the advantage.
Jesus Tempted in the wilderness for 40 days and tempted in every way… he went out in order to be tempted, he chose to go out in the wilderness knowing he would be alone, in the heat, with out food, and tempted by Satan himself.
The suck means we are in the middle of 2 options.
The first option is satans plan for us. To fudge, to squirm out of Gods perfect will, to justify quitting or giving up. That is the first option. The second option is Gods plan which is for us to learn something in order to have a greater faith. To be perfected as he would tell us in scripture. It is ultimately to make us more like Jesus… and who doesn’t want to be like their hero! So embrace the suck.
Embrace the suck…
Embrace the suck of temptation
Embrace the suck of health problems
Embrace the suck of financial problems
Embrace the suck of relationship problems
Embrace the suck of job hassles
Embrace the suck of children issues
There must be a greater reward you see in order to go through the fight. You must understand that to embrace the suck is seeing the greater reward on the other side.
When the shit hits the fan… came from the 1930’s from a military background. It was meant to speak of that which was hidden or secret now gets found out.
When I feel like I am getting tested I like to think of this phrase, but I change one word in the sentence.
When I embrace the suck… is When the spirit hits the fan…
When you embrace the suck… hang on because the spirit will hit the fan. God will break out in a new and unusual way and I have seen first hand that this is when Gods power shows up in powerful ways.
Remember what happened to Jesus after he embraced the suck of temptation…
First he had angels come and attend to him, pep talk, gatorade, ice pack… Im not sure, but I am sure it was pretty powerful. Then he went out into his ministry… the most powerful years of his life.
Embrace the suck… and expect the spirit to hit the fan, expect to be strengthened and moved into a greater more powerful ministry.
