The Game is Won Days Ahead!



Football is gearing up for us right now. We reminded the boys yesterday that the game is won before we play it. In fact, the game is won days ahead of time. It is the work we put into the practice that pays off in the game. Some people simply take "plays" off and short cut themselves. In a team sport that can cost your family the game.

Spiritual matters are the same way my friends. We must train everyday to stay sharp and fresh so that in the day of battle we are ready to win. Are you staying sharp spiritually? Are you spending fresh moments in the Word and in prayer? Or are you taking "plays" off?

This morning I read this great proverb and it can apply to your situation (and football): "Those too lazy to plow in the right season will have no food at the harvest."  Proverbs 20:4 NLT
(Those too lazy to do the drill will not win the game! Told you I could apply it to football)

Rundown: coached football 2 hours, Pilates class 1 hour, ballistics, ran 1 plus miles, stadium steps x 10)
