IN SPIRITUAL TRAINING TOO

 

IN SPIRITUAL TRAINING TOO

It is that TIME of year

For sports=for football again too

We got basketball and

Hockey playoffs=and we have

Baseball too=NOT to mention golf

And there is a LOT OF TRAINING

That goes into

Being an athlete

“Thus I do NOT

Run aimlessly=

I do not fight

As if I were shadow boxing” 1 Corinthians 9:26

Athletes have to PUT IN

Hours and hours

Of practice and TRAINING

ALWAYS with an eye

On that decisive game

Or elusive title

Which ONE of us

Hasn't dreamed of SCORING

That decisive touchdown

Or making that winning basket ?

Our country LEARNED 19 years ago=

We never know

HOW OR WHEN

We will be called home

We NEVER know when

Our FINAL RACE will be run=

So we have to be

IN CONSTANT SPIRITUAL TRAINING TOO

“Everyone who competes

In the games

Goes into STRICT TRAINING

They do it

To get a crown

That will not last

But we DO IT

To get a crown

That will LAST FOREVER” 1 Corinthians 9:25

“All Scripture is God-breathed

And is useful for

Teaching-rebuking-correcting-

And TRAINING in righteousness

So that

The servant of God

May be thoroughly equipped

For every good work” 2 Timothy 3:16

Life isn't a practice session

That we can SKIP=

We have to be serious

About our SPIRITUAL TRAINING TOO

Day after day after day

We need to PRAY

When I was young

I used to

Like to RUN=and I

Would TRAIN

To run in a race

But life isn't a practice session=

We need to be

IN SPIRITUAL TRAINING TOO

We are in the race

FOR OUR LIFE

“I have fought

The good fight

I have

FINISHED THE RACE

I have kept the faith” 2 Timothy 4:7

What is GREAT is=

We have he BEST

COACHING STAFF EVER

God the Holy Father=and his

Son Jesus Christ=and the HOLY SPIRIT
OF LOVE

We are well coached in

OUR SPIRITUAL TRAINING

In Jesus' name
