The other day I was watching my daughter's youth soccer game and noticed that every time the ball would start coming to one of the girls they would stop running, and then the ball would go past them. Whenever someone would pass the ball to them, there was the tendency to hesitate and stop. But since the ball was moving, when they stopped, the ball would go right past them and usually to their opponent. 

They haven't learned yet how to receive the ball in stride where they never break their momentum. 

In a similar way I think God always tries to send things our way in stride, where it is seamless, and we keep moving without any breaks in the action. Recently I have seen a few people have some good opportunities come their way, but they hesitated, and the opportunities were missed. In some cases, I think we hesitate because we doubt or are unsure, but in other cases I noticed people hesitated because of greed and trying to make the situation even better for themselves, and they get in the way. 

In today's communion we are thanking God for the amazing opportunities he sends our way, and we are asking him to help us receive what he has for us in stride without hesitation. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

Through the years of working with people in the gym I have noticed that people also hesitate in their health and fitness. They wait for the perfect time to get started or they wait until they have the perfect diet or workout program to get started. Just get in motion and things will start happening. 

I am praying for you.
