Right now is a time that I am getting in shape... and it is hard. If you haven't heard, our staff where I work is playing Tumwater High School's Varsity Basketball team. This game isn't for much of anything except pride. So this is a season of getting in to shape. It is funny, because as I am working out, I am noticing all the things that hurt; my side, my legs, my whole body. See when you don't keep in shape daily, when you are in a game, you aren't up to par... and we have to be up to par to beat these guys. And we will win! Isn't this how our Christian walk is too? When we don't keep in shape, when we don't read our Word, when we don't pray, when we don't daily walk with God, we hurt. God talks about in His Word to be ready in season and out of season (2 Tim. 4:2). It also says in Philippians to run the race with endurance. What He is talking about here is being in shape. It is so easy to let laziness slip in or business to take our time. I heard a guy say once that if you can't break the bonds of sleep you will never be able to break the bonds of sin. It is time to get in shape. This is your season, your life, to get into shape with God to daily seek His face. This is your time to push through your laziness and get into shape with the Lord. Be ready in season and out of season... be ready now!
By the way, our team consists of: Jon "the giraffe" Cobler, Shane Rogers aka crying rain, Justin Wimberly aka Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rich Broeker aka Daddy Long legs, Sam Broeker aka Half man, Half amazing, Jake "the rake" Broeker, Taylor "the tool man" Lyall. Tumwater better bring it!
I feel a little like Rocky
