First Steps – July 26, 2021

There is a story I recall about the legendary golfer, Gary Player.  One afternoon he was practicing sand shots from a bunker.  Some of his practice shots ended up in the hole.  A little boy stood watching these shots and upon the hole-outs said, “Wow, those were lucky shots!”  Gary Player responded, “The more I practice, the luckier I get.”  

I don’t know if the story is true, but I do know that the more I practice something, the better I become at doing it. The same is true with faith; the more it is put into practice, the stronger it becomes.  Spiritual Disciplines are the means by which we practice our faith.  There is nothing fancy or sexy about them.  They are routine, basic, practice shot-after-shot, but they perfect something on the inside that is needed for daily living.

Embrace disciplines!  In the beginning, it will be difficult. It may even seem like a waste of time because it is hard to see the effect; however, it is honing something on the inside (within you) that when the time comes to be revealed will be pure and holy.
