I think I know this fact? I think I remember writing about it before? Oh well, must be important to come up again? Runners will tell you that their bodies suffer more going down hill than up. Kind of seems backwards, to climb a hill your heart and lungs are in full force. To come down would seem that gravity would take over.
The issue is the body. The impact and stress of downhill is more than uphill. Even though the energy needed may be less it tends to be more pain full.
In other areas of life this can also be true. Hard work and perseverance can propel us up and to seemingly high point in life. What happens when that changes? Layoffs, illness, bad choices, fate, all can change our position on the hill!
Now coming back down can be extremely hard. We need God and prayer and a new sense of who and what our lives are about. Probably like the runner we may need to slow down and avoid some of the pain! The hill will end and we will be running along easily again!
Verses: Psalm 42(all) 2 Cor 7: 6 Heb 12: 1-13
