I was reading a powerful novel this week ( Wisdom Hunter by Randall Arthur) and the following quote has really hit home. What do you think?
An easy, routine way of life which many associate with stability and security only gives man stagnation. Entrenched routine only spoils man and makes him simple and weak.
On the other hand, progressive resistance in life always has the potential to give man progressive strength, and to make him progressively wiser…
Reistance makes a man think new thoughts he never thought before. It makes a man ask questions he never asked before. It makes a man seek answers he never sought before. It makes a man beg God for help that he never before realized he needed. These quests, quests of the heart and soul, eventually make a man deeper, wider, taller.
