“Don’t run from tests and hardships, brothers and sisters. As difficult as they are, you will ultimately find joy in them; if you embrace them, your faith will blossom under pressure and teach you true patience as you endure. And true patience brought on by endurance will equip you to complete the long journey and cross the finish line—mature, complete, and wanting nothing.” (James 1:2-4 VOICE)
Cushy shoes can feel comfortable and springy; thus, ‘many runners prefer them to shoes with less padding. However, running in highly cushioned shoes can increase the impact load and alter the natural spring mechanics in a runner’s form. Even though it seems counterintuitive, running related injuries are more prevalent when wearing cushioned shoes. Ideally, you want a shoe that provides some protection while still allowing your feet to move lithely.
A certain amount of discomfort is a prerequisite to gaining strength. Resilience is developed under pressure. The lessons of hardship can be useful if you are willing to learn and adapt. Faith blossoms in affliction, equipping you for the long journey. Even though this seems counterintuitive, embracing suffering rather than avoiding it can lead to patience, endurance, empathy, and maturity.
