A Resilient Life: You Can Move Ahead No Matter What

A Resilient Life: You Can Move Ahead No Matter What
â€œIt makes little difference how fast you can run the 100 meters when the race isÂ 400 meters long. Life is not a sprint; it is a distance run, and it demands the kind ofÂ conditioning that enables people to go the distance.â€

â€”Gordon MacDonald

Â

Running Strong

Â

Whose heart doesnâ€™t leap at the sight of a beautifully

conditioned runner, effortlessly gliding along, stride-bystride,Â mile-by-mile? And what runner gets to this place withoutÂ a thanklessâ€”and often lonelyâ€”regimen of strategy and self-denial?

Â

Isnâ€™t this the perfect metaphor of what your heart is longing forâ€”runningÂ lifeâ€™s race with intentionality and grace? With strength and focus?

Â

Well, you can. Veteran pastor and best-selling author Gordon MacDonaldÂ says you must develop resilienceâ€”the courage and ability to get up when you fall,Â to keep running when youâ€™re bone-weary, and to keep your eye on the goal even inÂ the murkiest moments. Using the backdrop of his own experiences as a championÂ runner, MacDonald demonstrates how resilient people

Â
- Practice spiritual self-discipline to build stamina and grit;
- Know whatâ€™s up ahead, what obstacles they will likely face; and
- Bond with special friends who share their commitment to finishing well.
Because he has also run many long, punishing laps in the tough race of life,Â MacDonald is uniquely qualified to coach and encourage you in developing thatÂ resilient spiritâ€”to weather adversity, to finish what you start, and to never beÂ satisfied with anything short of Godâ€™s best for you.
