Good Coaching

"Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.  They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.  Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.  No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." -I Corinthians 9:25-27 (NIV)
When beginning a new endeavor or embarking on a journey, it helps to have support.  As I have started a new professional project, I have team members and a coach that I work with and communicate with regularly.  Through feedback and support from my team members and coach, I can grow and get better.  An effective coach, like mine, is positive, pointing out strengths and areas in need of improvement.  We rely on earthly coaches to help us get better physically and professionally, but we also have Heavenly Coaches to help in all things!

Paul reminds us that our spiritual training is similar to that of an athlete or professional preparing for a big event or competition.  To grow in our faith and to get better at living for God, we need to rely on the tools and guidance of our Heavenly Coaches.  God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit can help us in following the plan that He has for us.  They can help us achieve the crown that will last forever!

Our training isn't complete without strengthening our spirit with the training equipment provided for us.  We have been given the Bible, God's Word, to strengthen our minds and understanding.  We are given our brothers and sisters in Christ to offer support and help us build positive relationships and we are given the world as our training ground, a place to practice showing God's love to others.

Take time each day to exercise your soul with the help of your Heavenly Coaches in order to grow spiritually and prepare yourself to live for Him!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being my Coach and for giving me Jesus and the Holy Spirit as my Savior and my guide.  Help me to listen to Your coaching in order to live my life for You.  Help me to follow Your game plan so I can bring all glory to You.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
