Empowered Faith: Navigating Life's Challengesنموونە

C O M P E T I T I O N
What are the keys to playing the game naturally, freely and in a relaxed way? How do we prepare for game day in such a way as to allow us to play with great freedom? Jesus knows about such things.
In John’s Gospel at chapter 8 and the 31st and 32nd verses we read, “Then Jesus said to those who believed Him, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free.’”
The key to freedom in competition is to abide in the elemental disciplines of the game. That’s why coaches insist on drills and repetition. Those things build in the fundamentals that are the building blocks of successful game days. Abide in, live daily in things like practice, video study, team meetings, training… Live in the game.
In life on a broader scale, Jesus is saying that the key to freedom is to abide in, to live in his word. Disciplines like daily devotional reading of the Bible, daily prayer and meditation are the keys to a life of freedom. It’s the abiding that precedes the knowledge of the truth, then the truth sets us free.
Let’s watch in today’s game for the hours, days, weeks, months and years of living in the game to result in a strong knowledge of the game. I’m very confident that with that kind of knowledge, a great performance is awaiting you today.
