11/25 Opportunity in Injury

I recently found out that I’ve been running on a strained hip flexor for a while. Because of this, I’m not able to run for a week or two. But instead of looking at this as a setback, I chose to look at it as an opportunity. Even though I can’t run, I can still continue to progress and make myself better by doing other things such as hip mobility, foot strengthening, etc.

Philippians chapter 1 shows this when Paul writes about how got sent to prison. But instead of letting his circumstances stop him, he instead saw it as an opportunity to expand his ministry and spread the gospel. He could’ve let his position stop him but he instead chose to continue to push towards the big goal of spreading the message of Christ.

Whenever you face any type of setback such as injury, look for opportunities. You could strengthen other parts of your body or mind or spread the gospel to your team.

Rejoice when facing trials. Those trials will make you stronger.
