Fortitude, the capacity to withstand or recover quickly from difficulties, is a vital quality exemplified by Olympic athletes like Lindsey Vonn. Her remarkable record of 84 World Cup wins, 4 overall World Cup titles, 31 Olympic gold medals, 2 bronze medals, and numerous world championship medals was achieved despite enduring 14 significant injuries since 2007. These physical setbacks highlight her extraordinary mental fortitude, as pushing through such challenges requires an unyielding spirit. This same resilience is essential in serving God and one another. Just as athletes must overcome fear, embrace discomfort, and commit to using their gifts despite adversity, serving God's people demands overcoming fears of inadequacy, willingness to be uncomfortable, and boldness to use the gifts God has given, regardless of challenges. A lack of such boldness and willingness to face discomfort in service is a form of cowardice, which carries grave consequences. God provides the strength needed to overcome personal weaknesses and fears in service. Even when we feel unqualified or hesitant, as Moses did, God equips us with what is necessary to fulfill His will. He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind, enabling us to serve with resilience. Serving God, even in seemingly small or undesirable tasks, is an honor, not a burden to be feared as being stuck. Ultimately, true fortitude in service to God and His people leads to eternal reward. Those who serve with resilience, meeting the needs of others, are blessed by God to inherit His kingdom. In contrast, those who lack such fortitude and fail to serve face everlasting punishment. As children of God, we must strive with boldness and endurance for the ultimate goal that lasts forever, trusting in His strength to sustain us.
