PRACTICE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE GAME
PRACTICE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE GAME
SCRIPTURE – Philippians 4:9
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
DEVOTION
In this scripture Paul is talking to the Philippian Christians about practicing what they have been taught. He tells them that if they do this the God of peace will be with them. Paul is explaining the importance of practice. He knew that sometimes you stare a giant in the face and ask yourself…. “what do I do with this?”. The answer is….you will do what you have practiced. In the Bible we saw this take place when David stared a giant in the face. The entire army of Israel was terrified of Goliath. However, David remembered what he had practiced. He recalled how he had prepared to kill wild animals to protect his sheep. Consequently, when the heat rose, David beat the giant. Just like Daivd, we must prepare ourselves for challenging times because anyone can compete when things are easy. The key is this…..(TARGET STATEMENT) we have to practice doing hard things in hard times. If we do we will have peace and know what to do when things get tough. That’s why we always say that “PRACTICE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE GAME”!
