It is a busy time at our school as we now have six different basketball teams needing
to use one gym for practice. Needless to say it is no small thing working
out that schedule. One thing that is not an option however, is not practicing.
If that decision were made there would be an outcry from the teams, the coaches
and the parents. It is just a given that the teams must practice.
The old adage is: “Practice makes perfect.”
It seems interesting that we understand this concept in sports and sometimes
forget its value in other facets of life. For instance, we know it
is difficult to forgive yet the more we practice forgiveness the easier it
becomes. This is also true for such things as tithing, regular Bible
reading, daily prayer and witnessing. In fact, as a coach I
believed that you should practice a skill until it became your reflex action.
Wouldn’t that same concept also work with our spiritual activities?
