In the USA, we are on the eve of basketball overload. The final college tournaments have started in earnest to crown four teams champion (two men and two women) of the best and the rest. There are coaches that have been preparing for years for this opportunity. There are players that have spent countless hours in a gym or outside working on all aspects of their skills to participate in this tournament. Such dedication to the sport and the task at hand. Before they run out onto the court, they will all have some form of let's do this job mentioned to them.
For Christians, can we say the same thing. Have we prepared so much that the execute comes naturally because that is what we know to do. Have we spent countless hours in the presence of God to soak up everything we can, have we read scripture enough so we can use the Holy Spirit to bring forth the Word of God as the word is needed for the situation. Do we consult with the Coach when there is a question of how to best attack the defense in front of us? Do we trust the Coach's decision when He lays out the plan and it looks different than what we thought of?
If we look at the verse and those players over the next three weeks, boldness will be a key aspect. They are very confident in the play and their ability to execute according to the plan from the coach. Are we as Christians as confident in executing God's plan? We always seem to have questions about how things will work instead of realizing that we have the Original Playmaker as our Coach and He will make the play work if we execute our part. Many games have been lost when someone does not do their part or are out of position. Let us be the players that will do our part and be in position to move our team forward. Hands in and 1 - 2 - 3, "Let's Do This".
Be Encouraged and Go Team Christians,
Martin
