Day 6

Day 6 Lesson:

Ya know what?!?! I am a pretty dang good skier! I mean it! Seriously, I am really quite exceptional. Sure there are tons of skiers that are better than I am, but relative to most people (including those who haven’t seen snow), I am really good at skiing. I only boast about this because I came to realize today that in spite of my expertise in skiing and my ability to go down almost any run on a mountain, including the Double Black Diamond runs, I am not an exceptional Christian! No, at this point in my life, I won’t be on the Christian X-Games (nor the real ones). In other words, I am not the greatest skier, and I am certainly in any place to boast about my likeness to Christ. When I am weak, He is strong. Well guess what folks, He has got some serious cannons (or is it canons…ha…lame Bible pun. Comment if you got it). My whole point is that, I thought I was doing okay in my walk with the Lord, but if we’re living in the light, I am barely pushing that blue/black barrier. I know for the beginner that may seem impressive, but to the Olympic athlete, anything short of perfection, anything short of Christ, doesn’t win you the gold! Matthew 5:48 says, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” That’s right, perfection is the goal and possibly more importantly, it is our calling! We are called to perfection! No, I don’t think we’ll attain it, but it is what we are to strive for in every moment. Jump to physical…

Day 6 Spiritual Health: Scriptures read: Matthew 5:48

Day 6 Physical Health: Acknowledge your need to be healthy, not the Greek god statue physique, but in good physical and spiritual health. Know that you come up short in areas, that it’s the way we are designed and understand your weaker parts. Define your weaknesses in order to strengthen yourself! No more rambling, find your weakness to eliminate it! Be strong!
