Bruce Lee and Your Christian Life

You may have seen this.  Regardless, it bears watching again.  Debate is out there if this is in fact Bruce Lee, but even if its not, its amazingly impressive to see the movement and anticipation in every millisecond of this short video.

I have been thinking alot lately about how much reaction to life's circumstances matters to the success of our Christian life. I think it very well may be the most important thing.

Another word for it is RESILIENCE.  Resilience is defined as the ability to bounce back from adversity and pain.  Adversity will come to us.  We will be disappointed.....deeply at times.  We will be betrayed. We will be abandoned, rejected, suffer loss.  Things we thought would never happen will, and things we thought would happen wont.

We will have to be resilient, "Bruce Lee", if you will, in being ready, prepared to hit life's ping pong balls back,....even SLAM them back at the devil at times!

I leave you with a verse to take to heart:  

"Therefore, with your minds ready for action, be serious and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."       I Peter 1:13

Grace,

PB

Reminds me of a Calvin Coolidge quote:

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

This is a great, sobering quote from your post, PB: "Adversity will come to us. We will be disappointed.....deeply at times. We will be betrayed. We will be abandoned, rejected, suffer loss. Things we thought would never happen will, and things we thought would happen wont."

I think I can check them all off on the list! Ugh. Thank for the reminder to bounce back - fast and with style.
