Let me lament to you that sitting on the bench during a basketball game is not a pleasant experience. You wear the numbered uniform. Western Flyers grip your feet. The crowd is engaged. Nghtly practice is behind you, yet you wait with a wistful heart. Charley Brown is what comes to mind.
Who doesn’t want to be in the game? Listen to winners:
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Therefore, we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
If you have been faithfully practicing and are equipped, then it’s time to get in the game. You even have an audience. Give it some thought.
