Learn to Carry Weight

Dream big and stand tall as a man. Lean into this. Take this to heart. Through flaws and failures, God invites his sons and daughters into deep work. If you are going through the motions in life or unenergetic in your purpose, let this be a 5 AM wake-up from destiny. God created you to do great things. You were meant for more. You have more strength than you can imagine. Strength imagined is helpful, but strength applied is heroic.

Here are a few things I have learned about masculine strength and how to chart success as a man. The word strength (ischyō in Greek) means to face the “necessary resistance that brings what the Lord defines as success.” It’s a term that refers to the Lord empowering people with what’s necessary to endure and achieve what He gives us faith to endure and persevere. So, faith and strength go together in every way as the Lord provides faith and strength through His Spirit. Adam was put in the garden to tend and keep it (Genesis 2:15), and we are still living out that mandate in our fast-paced, tech-crazed world. We partner with God like Adam and the heroes before us (Hebrews 11), and we must embrace our role.

 

Men demonstrate strength when they carry the weight of personal responsibility.

 

Men fend off apathy with action.

 

Let this sink in.

“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.” Eleanor Roosevelt
