“Keep Going until You’re Secured.”

Noticing parallels between SEALs and Christians

(pt.7)

        Navy SEAL Marcus Lutrell comments on why he thinks the majority of his class dropped out, “They weren’t completing each task as it came, living for the day.  The had allowed themselves to live in dread of the pain and anguish to come.  And, [Capt. Maquire] told us never to do that, just take it hour by hour...Keep going until you're secured.”

    In the same way Jesus commands us, “Don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” (Mt 6:34 NLT).  Ps 37:3 also reminds us, “Trust in Yahweh and do good.” As we do, focusing on what He has for us hour to hour, day to day, we are much less likely to be overwhelmed by all that our fear, insecurity, and temptations can muster up.  Don’t let yourself live in coming dread; just keep going until you’re secured.
