"Christianity Is A Sport II"As I continue to talk about Jr. today, it's important to understand the importance of A Good Coach Taking A Time Out. Jr.'s Coach could have waited until the game was over and then told Jr. that he should have taken the shot earlier in the game. Why didn't The Coach tell him then? Why didn't he wait until all Jr.'s mistakes were made and dealt with them all at once? Well think about it. Christ uses the Holy Spirit to coach us, what if the Holy Spirit waited until all our mistakes were made, before He called a "Time Out' in the mist of our situations and to give us instructions on how to get it right the next time.
My Son's coach understands that these guys haven't played on his team before, he also knows that at their age(Babies in basketball) they wont be able to remember the situation as it happened at the end. I know sometimes we wonder why things seem to keep going backwards, one after another, to be honest its not happening like that at all. The Holy Spirit keeps calling 'Time Outs' because God said He wouldn't put more on us then we can handle. So the next time the coach "Takes A Time Out' don't grumble and complain and say it's the ref's faught, listen to His instructions so you can get back into the game.
I love this. Very powerful!
