Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us,and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1

I heard a “spot-on” sermon the last Sunday of 2018 while vacationing in Melbourne, Australia. The house Pastor at Hillsong Church, West Melbourne presented an illustrated sermon that caused me to think, rejoice and be grateful for what God has deposited in me. The Pastor’s description of a resilient person reconfirmed that I am a member of the Resilience Club.

Listed below are a few of his points. Meditate on them and then decide whether you are a member as well.

• Resilient people start with the end in mind.
• Resilient people just keep walking. Why? It’s too expensive to quit.
• Resilient people embrace what’s next.
• Resilient people surround themselves with the right people.
• Resilient people don’t entertain alternatives.
• Resilient people persevere through the dark nights of the soul.

If you are a resilient person, you are prepared for the turbulent days ahead. If not, I would encourage you to strengthen yourself mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically because the worst is yet to come! Only the resilient thrive during uncertain and difficult seasons.
Lord, strengthen our resolve!
