An overlooked quality of those God uses is: mental toughness.
Just consider a few examples from the Bible...
Noah built the ark -- all on his own.
Joshua led the way to the Promised Land -- while pressing through opposition.
And Paul was intent on pleasing God rather than men -- despite facing persecution.
... None of this would have been possible without mental toughness.
We need godly people with mental toughness today.
But how do you acquire it?
Here are a few ideas...
- Refuse to feel sorry for yourself
- Be open to changes God may bring
- Determine to learn and grow from every challenge
- Set boundaries for yourself and stick to them
- Focus on what you can do, not what you can't
And above all, keep looking to Jesus...
... who became the epitome of mental toughness by rejecting Satan's lies and constantly entrusting Himself to the Father.
'Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ' (1 Pet.1:13).
