If you haven’t read the Book of Zechariah in a while, you missed this gem from God’s Word.
“What are you, mighty mountain?” (Zechariah 4:7).
When was the last time you talked to your mountain? Mountains represent huge challenges which God intends us to overcome. That’s why I have the following hanging on my wall: “Your mountain awaits, so get on your way!”
Chris Nikic knows a little about talking to mountains. On November 7, 2020, he became the first person with down syndrome to finish the Ironman Triathlon. In 16 hours, 47 minutes, Chris swam 2.4 miles, cycled 112 miles, and ran 26.2 miles.
The next day, he said, “Goal set and achieved. Time to set a new and bigger goal.”
How did Chris Nikic train for such an extraordinary achievement? It was easy. He said, “I tried to improve by one percent each day.”
Recovery is a mountain worth climbing. How can you make it? Improve by one percent each day.
Recovery Step: Talk to your mountain. Then improve by one percent each day.
