Have you ever seen the really small, seemingly having no muscle, skinny guy walk into the gym to work out? But instead of starting with low weight so that he can lift it and progress the weight with time, he goes in to work out with the big guys that warm up with over 300 pounds for bench press.
Of those guys, there is one training for the world's strongest man's competition. He is obviously the strongest one in the entire gym. He could lift the weight that no one else there could! So when it came to the 400+ pound weight on the bench press excersize, he was the ONLY ONE that could lift that weight.
We are that small, skinny guy in the gym, without the Lord. Without Him, we are trying to go through life like we are working out against the world's strongest man. Our sin cannot be defeated if we try to fight it by ourselves, completely unassisted.
However, the God that we serve is stronger than that worlds strongest man, everytime! He easily lifts the weight and burden of our sins, for He has already conquered everything in existence! The good news: He is on our side, for those that know and love Him! Do you know Him?
