Sisyphus was a tragic hero in ancient Greek mythology, who angered the gods and was punished to an everlasting hell of repeatedly having to roll a heavy boulder up a steep hill and never being able to succeed it make any progress.
Have you ever felt like Sisyphus?
Ever felt like you are making zero progress?
Ever felt like you are in an endless, infinite loop?
Endless repetition without any end goal in sight…
In his book “Pleasing God”, RC Sproul says that though the Christian’s journey is filled with pitfalls and laden with perils, it does have one guarantee…that Christ promises to go with us and to bring us out the other side.
So may this today, be an encouragement to you and may you, as Paul said, keep on fighting the good fight!

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” -Isaiah 41:10-13
