If you are in a storm, go ahead and ride it out for you will develop your spiritual muscles. I have shared a poem of mine from my new storied anthology, W.O.W. created w.o.w. This poem and my accompanying Tweets will bless your spirit, I hope.
How Much More?
Have been broken many times
Only to be mended again
Can barely see how it all started
And cannot see the end.
One just has to keep plodding along
In hopes of a better deal
Realizing, it matters not how much one hurts
Nor how tired one might feel.
Perhaps, life works much like muscles do
They get stronger only after they get sore
Yet, a body wonders what else life has in mind
One often wonders, “How much more?”
Heb. 6:15
Matt. 11:27-29
For Pondering:
1. What do the underlined phrases mean?

Hard blows the gale
For it's a mighty storm To buffet the person of faith To become his/her norm To make a person of Muscles with rare form |

When a storm is raging
In your life, full-blast Just hold on to your faith & you hold fast 'Cause all storms do end They can't always last. |

When you get your storm legs
You can help others If they see you being strong In battle to own storms Yet taking time to aid your brother. |

Jesus, the Master Stiller of storms
Does not always move them For He knows that because of your battle Muscles of strong faith will form. |
Just know, person of faith, when the storm is over, your faith muscles will be strong! As to the question raised by the first poem, Jesus knows how much more. What you, me and all of the rest need to remember is that Jesus sees, cares and is able! So, in the meantime, let's adjust our spiritual backpacks and keep going, for if we carry it long enough, it becomes the norm and thereby makes us stronger!
Ultimately,
