Lunch Presentation to Christian Club at Loyola Law School (Part 2)

Practical Point 1: 

Go meal to meal.

One of the toughest physical challenges a person to go through is hell week for SEALs.  Chris Kyle, a SEAL sniper wrote that the best way to get through hell weak is to go meal to meal.  They fed them every 6 hours, so relief was never more than 5 hours and 59 minutes away.  His point was that if you focus on what's coming tomorrow or the next day, week, month or year, you'll get freaked out and want to quit.

Matt. 6:25-34 says: "25“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?26“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?27“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?28“And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,29yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.30“But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!31“Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’32“For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.33“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

 Law School, the bar and much of life is more stress control, perseverance and time management vs. intellect and raw knowledge.
