Superhuman Strength

“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”, decries the great and powerful Wizard of Oz in sharp contrast to, “I’m Dorthy, the small and meek.”

Hey we’re going to ask you straight up, “Show us what you’re made of? Do you have what it takes? Are you strong enough?” Before you answer hot shot you should know that we’ve already asked others the same questions aaaand — it didn’t go well for any of them.

Turns out we didn’t find one person that could boast of being incredibly strong. Not even kinda – sorta. Want to see what the blessings of sacrifice, sweat, pain, weakness, appetite, injury and failure look like? Yeah that’s right – BLESSINGS! These people lost every last drop of muscle – the ability to make their way by brute strength. They all found a force far greater than their greatest hopes and their strongest determination. In fact their frail limits zeroed them out to superhuman strength.

When strength looks weak be thankful. Your resting heart rate in God reflects the real pulse of your fitness.
