"We're talking about practice?" Do you remember this classic quote from Allen Iverson when reporters asked him why he had missed several practices when playing for the Sixers? Although Iverson was talented enough to skip some practices many of us are not that lucky.   

I was reminded of this word recently when out on the golf course. I hadn't picked up a golf club in over a month and went out and played 18 holes. The result? Not good. I expected to try and compete but without practice, I had lost all of the basic fundamentals, like keeping my head down. A humble reminder you have to put in the work to expect quality results. 

In Philippians 4:9 Paul writes, "Whatever you have learned or received or hear from me, or seen in me -- put it into PRACTICE. And the God of peace will be with you." What a great reminder not only on the golf course but in our spiritual lives as well to take the things we are learning in reading God's word and putting them into practice.  

I hope this encourages you this week as you practice the things you're working on starting to begin. Thanks for watching!  Have a great week everyone!
