Hindrance vs. Challenge

“I am the LORD All-Powerful. So don't depend on your own power or strength, but on my Spirit.” (Zechariah 4:6 CEV)

Some runners view hills as hindrances that impede their progress. They seek out flat routes, avoiding elevation changes as much as possible. Others see hills as challenges--opportunities to test their limits and grow. The difference lies not in their skill but in their mindset. 

When you are faced with a formidable obstacle, what is your reaction? Do you feel dispirited? Do you avoid things that are beyond your ability and resources? Or do you hear and obey the call to engage the Divine Spirit within you? Those who depend on their own strength can only go as far as humanly possible. However, those who cooperate with the Lord, working alongside Him, have access to supernatural power. They are focused not on attaining their own goals, but in trusting that God’s purposes will prevail.
