As we continue to explore what it means to be a Champion, another trait quickly rises to the forefront. The character trait of Endurance. What is Endurance? One definition states: The inward strength to withstand stress and do my best.
Where does that inward strength come from? As a Christian, I believe that it comes from reliance on not your own strength, but all that is Christ's. Yet inward strength also brings to mind the definition of meekness, "power under control." In the Champion's life it is not one of lashing out based on circumstance, but staying the course with the end result always in mind. It is the ability to withstand causes of disappointment, disillusionment, and discouragement knowing that after weathering the storm there breaks through the clouds a peace that passes understanding. There is joy unspeakable and the glory of accomplishment.
