...But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!...
These are the famous lines from the movie Rocky which I saw again last week. The main protagonist Rocky Balboa is a boxer. When confronted with a bigger and better boxer, he departs from conventional thinking by deciding to take the hits and tire the opponent down. When the opponent was all wearied after 13-14 rounds of sheer hard work in the bout, Rocky turned the tables and beat him to the ground. It was his ability to endure that helped him win. This made me think!
You know, the devil is going to come at you with all the force at his disposal. He’ll try all dirty tricks under his belt to break you. It is when we persevere under such onslaught that we become effective and productive in Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:5-8) Perseverance implies that no matter how hard you are hit, you keep on moving on. And that is how “winning is done.”
