Break Through the Wall I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:13) Hello, Youre running the race set before you, moving full speed ahead with Gods blessing overtaking you at every step. Then suddenly, wham! You hit the wall. It may be a wall of sickness or financial trouble, of spiritual failure or family problems. But, regardless of the form it takes, the effect of the wall is always the same. It stops you cold. The question is, once you hit a wall like that, what will you do? Youll be tempted to quit, to turn back in defeat. But dont do it. Because God will enable you to break through that wall and keep right on going. Im not going to tell you its easy. The truth is, its tough. But you have to push on through the tough times if youre ever going to have a breakthrough. Ask any athlete. Hell tell you that! Because if hes a winner, hes been there. Hes pushed his body to what seems to be the maximum. His side has hurt. His lungs have ached. Hes had cramps in his legs and thighs. And just when he felt like he couldnt go on, hes heard some coach yell, Come on! Move it! Athletes call that hitting the wall. Its a time when the body says, Thats it. Thats all I can do. I cant go any further. I cant go any faster. I quit. But the seasoned athlete knows that the wall isnt the end. Its a signal that hes on the verge of a breakthrough. If hell toughen up and push himself a little more, hell get a second wind. Suddenly, hell go faster than before. Hell reach a level of excellence he couldnt have reached any other way. When you feel the worst, when failure is breathing down your neck, press into the Word as never before. You may meditate on a particular scripture for days and even weeks sometimes, trying to get a revelation of it, seemingly without success. Then suddenly, like the dawn of the morning, light will come pouring in. Youll see the way to break through. All you have to do is punch one little hole in that wall of problems, dig one tiny hole in it with your faith and with the Word of God. Then keep tearing away at that hole. Dont quit! And, before long, the forces of God will come bursting through, demolishing every obstacle in their path! Once that happens youll never be the same again. Youll be hooked. It will only take one breakthrough like that to make a never-dying, never-quitting champion out of you. Scripture Study:1Corinthians9:24-27
