I’m writing this while watching the “Super Bowl.” The championship game of American professional football.
These are skilled and highly trained athletes. They train physically. They train intellectually. They are coached to recognize situations on the move and respond appropriately. They study. The strengthen their bodies.
The apostle Paul often used analogies from athletics to encourage our spiritual life.
How trained are you?
Study.
Prayer.
Meditation.
Simplify.
It is hard work to train. But confidence comes from developing our bodies and minds.
And the payoff is reaching the goal. The olive branch wreath. The Lombardi trophy.
Union with God.
