THE REASON WE STRETCH BEFORE WE CLIMB #949/ EMBRACING THE FATHERS HEART WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

THE REASON WE STRETCH BEFORE WE CLIMB

 

THERE ONCE WAS A MAN WHO WAS CELEBRATING HIS ONE-HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY. He was the talk of the town, for no one around had ever reached that high plateau of age before. When interviewed by the local newspaper, he was asked the question. What is your secret?

He said, "well, sonny."

"Every morning, I get up at 5 AM and run 5 miles before breakfast.

Then I do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups, and that's before I go to the gym and work out with weights for the next two hours.

The young reporter was a gasp, how long have you been doing that, sir," he asked.

The old man answered, "well, sonny, I start tomorrow."

Somehow that story sounds very familiar to some of the promises I made in the early days of keeping me fit as a spirit. "I'll start tomorrow" could be the theme of many of us who plan to claim the heights of God's revelation and walk with the angels.

Somewhere along our journey, desire has to be mixed with action, and when it does, we reap the benefits of growth and maturity. 

However, God is greater than our weakness, so He has provided a surefire way to get us to the other side of the lake. Even though the storm comes and we fear for our lives, he has already declared that we will go to the other side.

How does that work? He has provided a built-in program of exercise called trials and problems. This forces us to stretch our muscles, resulting in patience and long-suffering. At some point, according to James 1:3, patience will bring us to be perfectly and fully developed with no defects lacking in nothing.

This is why we stretch before we climb.
