The Iron Spine


"I wish I had a gentle mind, and a spine made up of iron." - Saint Vincent 

There is something intriguing in wishing for a spine made of iron. The meaning is clear - St. Vincent realised that he needed to have a strong backbone, to get through the many tough things in life. In his mind, a spine of Iron would help him to get through those very difficult moments. 

Thankfully, we can lean on the strength of Christ to help us through any difficulties we may face. We don't necessarily need the iron spine when we have the Spirit of God.

1 Samuel 30:6 - But David found strength in the Lord his God.

Living in Grace
