SKILL
I Chronicles 12:1-2

How would you rate the skills possessed by your teammates and yourself?  Are you so skilled that people will be reading about you in 1500 years?  Such were the abilities of the mighty men of David.

We read about these mighty men in First Chronicles chapter 12 and verses 1 and 2.  There it reads, “These were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed; they were kinsmen of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin.)” 

These men were ambidextrous with any kind of implement of battle and were very experienced.  That’s a great team to have if you’re on the run from the king.

I’d like to challenge you to work hard in every facet of your sport.  Continually make constant improvements in your technique, strength, conditioning, mental preparation and teamwork.  Apply yourself fully to every skill and tactic with great diligence. 

Compete skillfully in today’s contest and maybe we’ll be reading about you for a long time.

God bless,

Roger
