We can learn a lot about spiritual things from professional sports. For instance, professional ball players don’t go into the game without stretching. When you draw near to the LORD, you will be stretched. What you thought is true will be challenged, and you will have to push farther into spiritual things to get the victory. You will have to “work out” early in the morning when others are still snoozing. You might have to pray more, and fast more to get victory over the other team. You will have to watch videos of what other people of God are doing, to see what you need to improve on. You can’t judge by your senses, but must judge by what the LORD shows you. This all takes DISCIPLINE, and Jesus’ followers were called DISCIPLES which means disciplined ones. You can sit on your couch and vegetate, and let others fight battles in the spirit, or you can get up and get going and seek the LORD for your assignments. You choose!!
