You may be familiar with the expression, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” It’s been attributed to various people, like the father of President John F. Kennedy and football great Knute Rockne. The biblical equivalent would probably be something like Joshua 1:9, which admonishes us to be strong and of good courage to meet the challenges ahead of us. Sometimes it’s easier said than done. You might be feeling more like “When the going gets tough, the weak will shrink.” Don’t be hard on yourself. Isaiah 40:29 promises that He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. You were built tough, as an old car slogan reminds us. Now get going.
