Grinding It Out

I'm an assistant basketball coach at Samford University. Today before we started practice, our head coach said something that really stuck with me. He talked about the importance of our team "Grinding It Out" throughout games and practices. It's really a good theme for our team to buy into as we go into this conference stretch. 

What made this "Grinding It Out" phrase stick in my head was how it relates to our walk with Christ. I'm currently on a 21 day fast, which is my 1st time fasting ever, & I'm on day 5. I'm continually realizing the importance of "Grinding It Out" not just on the fast but in my life in general. So you ask, what does "Grinding It Out" for God consist of?
 For 1, spending time with him daily, praying , talking & listening to him daily, getting into his word daily, mediating on his word daily, attending bible studies, attending church, tithing, etc...Yes ALL those things are how you "Grind It Out",  BUT most importantly I'm continuing to learn that Believing & Trusting in him 100% every single day is the ULTIMATE GRIND! 

So I just want to encourage and inspire you all to "Grind It Out" for the God. It's Well Worth IT!
