Do Hard Things Challenge 11

So, here we are at the end of our Do Hard Things Study. Let's be challenged by a couple of last things:

I love this quote from a guy named Brandon in the book Do Hard Things:

If foolish human companions harm you aren't foolish movies and comic books just as bad? (p221)

Take some practical steps...NOW!
1. Identify what you need to get honest with and to whom
2. Decide what negative actions or patterns need to end
3. Recognize which people could best help you get from point A to point B and plan to get connected
4. Figure out one or two key action steps that, once taken, will make it tougher to chicken out
5. Acknowledge that you can't succeed without God's help. Make a practical plan to stay close to him.

This is where it really gets hard! You will not be forced to read or always talk about what hard things you are doing. You will not be daily reminded of the phrase "do hard things". So, now it's up to you to keep with it. It's up to you to be intentional about your ministry. It's up to you to look for and do the hard things so that they become a regular part of your life and a natural part of your life.

Be encouraged by those who have done hard things before you and be encouraged by the words of the writer of Hebrews when you feel like giving up in this fight for holiness:

"In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood." Hebrews 12:4

Remember the example of Jesus and the Hard Things he did for His glory and so YOU TOO can do the hard things.
