The Game of Life

From: Bryant Wright Ministries

John 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me."

Remember the old Nike commercial? The implication was that all you needed to become an athlete was determination, hard work, and those shoes!

When it comes to human nature, life is very different. Human beings just aren't disciplined enough to do all we need to do. We seldom can change ourselves by our own initiative.

One of the Bible writers, an avid sports fan by the name of Paul, recognized that changing human nature calls on something else--a supernatural change agent. Our only responsibility is to be willing to allow that change agent to bring about the needed improvements.

No, He might not improve your golf game, even though you wish He would. He may not give you the ability to hit home runs or even make you run faster if you have those shoes. But He will adjust your attitude, your character, and your relationships for the better. So, "Just Do It!" Allow Christ to help you be a winner in the game of life.
