Make a Decision

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

Over the last couple of days, we have talked about a baseball coach I had who could transform a hitter almost instantly. He would do this by giving them a bigger goal, a precise plan of how to achieve the goal, and help them develop the mechanics to execute the plan. Everything was in alignment. 

A huge part of his system was setting up the filter of what the hitter was to swing at, and which pitches to let go. He would have the hitter focus only on pitches that he could hit with power. The hitter was to let everything else go, even if it was a strike, which was very counterintuitive. 

Setting up this filter in the hitters' mind had the impact of helping him make much better and faster decisions when pitches were coming at him. In our lives nothing happens until we make a decision. As long as we are wavering, there are no results. Once a decision is made things get put in motion. But the hitting coach used to always emphasize that once a decision was made, the hitter needed to be all in on the swing. The worst thing the hitter could do was decide to swing and then not give his best swing. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us be people who make great decisions and make them quickly. And we are asking him to help us bring our best once a decision is reached. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

I have seen a lot of people through the years waver on whether they were going to be consistent with their exercise or get started with changes in their nutrition. As long as we waver, nothing happens. 

 I am praying for you.
