Recently Carson and Tristan started pitching lessons to prepare for their first kids pitch league later this fall. For an hour one day a week for the four weeks they will go to pitching “training camp”. During the lesson they went through a series of drills teaching them proper pitching mechanics and throwing motion to improving their performance.
1 Timothy 4:7-8 (NLT) “7Do no waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly. 8Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”
As a great amount of training is needed for athletic activities, so too we must train diligently for the Christian life. Such training takes time, dedication, energy and continued practice.
As we must repeat exercises to stay in shape or improve our performance, so we must steadily repeat spiritual exercises to be spiritually fit. When we do this, we become better Christians and live according to God’s will. We must all commit ourselves to the Christian life. Such a life will be considered blessed in both this life and the life to come.
