If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn’t much to you in the first place.
Proverbs 24:10 (TMB)
Perseverance requires preparation. Many Christians don’t realize that instead of preparing for victory, they’re actually preparing for setbacks. Overeating is preparing you for a heart attack, oversleeping is preparing you for poverty, and overconfidence is preparing you for failure. Unless you are actively growing in the Lord, when crisis comes you’ll fall to pieces. You can either pay now and play later, or you can play now and pay later. The choice is yours.
