MVP Practice

Philippians 2: 12

¹² Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence,

work out your own salvation with fear and trembling...

Continuing on my bicycle escapades, I witnessed a number of things I believe God allowed me to hear and see.

There were a group of kids playing and practicing soccer one day.

There’s way too much running, and not enough hitting for me to enjoy soccer.

I have to admit though, this soccer practice seemed pretty intense.

When I was in High School (40 years ago), I hated football practice, but loved the games.

Two a day practices in the summer were filled with some blood, lots and lots of sweat, and normally lots of mosquito bites.

If you didn’t participate in the practices, being in the game was out of the question.

Sunday mornings are for practicing our salvation and growing in our walk of faith, and then the game of life is being played out Monday thru Saturday.

Once again, I’m amazed at the people who are consistently missing practices.

I wonder if we practiced more, maybe we’d have more end zone dances going on during Sunday worship.

How well are you practicing? Are you prepared for the game?

Someone else’s salvation may depend upon it.

Maybe we need more MVP performances during the game, but that’ll be determined by how well we practice...
