Devo Fuel: {Spiritual Muscle}
"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." (Romans 5:3-4)
A child develops muscles through exercise. Only when our muscles encounter resistance, do they become stronger. In the same way, the Bible tells us that we only become stronger spiritually through exercise - through using our spiritual "muscles" to meet the affliction, for they are one of God's ways to make us strong ... In the last essay he wrote before he died, the Great Christian writer C.S. Lewis said, "We have no right to happiness; only an obligation to do our duty." Sometimes our God-given duty will include suffering. When it does, ask God to teach you through it.
