Pumping Iron
Job 2:10 - But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Much like an athlete who does weight training, a Christian too is trained. The resistance of weight training tears down the muscles that are being worked. Then, during the rest period, the muscle recovers, and should be stronger than what it was. The idea is to tear the muscle down so it can be rebuilt to be stronger. Without the weight training, one would not get stronger.
It's the same in the Christian life. If God was good to us all the time and didn't allow for trials, troubles, adversity, how would we grow as a person and as a Christian. Like the athlete above, the adversity can tear our faith down, then as we let God deal with the problem through us, our faith gets stronger. It's that resistance training that builds us, physically and spiritually.
God doesn't promise no resistance training, but He does promise resistance coaching.
God Bless
