A famous musician was once asked how he learned to play so well. His reply was, “Practice, practice, practice.” Everybody knows how important practice is if you want to excel in any activity. Every golf ‘duffer’ knows that his lack of skills is due to a lack of adequate practice.
What about your attempt to live the Christian life? How much time do you spend practicing the basic principles? Principles like: daily Bible reading and study, prayer, regular church attendance and obedience to God. It is easier to embrace Biblical principles than it is to live up to them. That’s why practice is so important.
Christians are often accused of being ‘too preachy,’ and when they don’t practice what they preach they are rightly called hypocrites. In other words, they talk the talk, but they don’t walk the walk. Anybody can pick up a golf club and swing it and look professional… until they put the ball down and attempt to hit it.
Our life is lived on a 24/7 basis, and our Christian life should be practiced 24/7 as well. Don’t be content to be a ‘duffer’ when it comes to living for Christ. Remember, ‘Practice makes Perfect.’
