We’ve all experienced that grueling set. The one were each
consecutive rep seems dauntingly impossible. It’s never that you can’t do it,
it’s that why would you do it? Have you heard the story of Jesus fasting in the
desert?
For 40 days Jesus fasted in the desert. He spent the entire
time in deep prayer, preparing himself for the next 3 years of intense prophecy
and ministry. I don’t know about you, but at day 3 I would have been dying to
call it quits. There is no way I could have been able to achieve 40 days of
fasting, even with the immense prayer. Yet, Christ pushed forward with
humility. He avoided all temptation and did not eat. He kept in constant
communication with the father.
I don’t know what your workout is today, but I can promise
you that there are no sets that will last for 40 days. The physical demand that
will be placed on your body holds nothing on a 40 day fast.
If you’re in the gym for the right reason, honoring your
temple, then you aim for improvement by pushing through your set. Don’t succumb to the temptation of
laziness. If you not in the gym for the right reason, self glorification and
temple worship, then maybe you need a few days fast and constant prayer to fix
that. Remember that Christ fasted for 40 days, you can get your last few reps.
