After watching tonight's speed skating finals, I never cease to be amazed at how things we see resemble real life stuff. These racers are so close to each other speeding around the rink seemingly in perfect pattern and control... then BAM! one of them slips or catches his blade and he tumbles helplessly into the padded wall. OR... someone pushes in just the right spot & time and that causes a disruption of one's balance - then again into the wall!
Isn't life just like that? One slip (ME) or shove (others) and I can fall on my face or struggle to stay up. What a challenge for me to guard the things in my life (testimony, attitude, words, etc.) which seem to hang in the balance every moment of every day. I have to focus constantly... NO LETDOWN!
Michael (DOC) shared Ephesians 6:12 with the guys group this past Monday night. I'll add verse 11 for the close: "Be strong in the LORD and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you may take your stand against the devil's schemes."
