Theme: Follow your Coach

Verse: Proverbs 27:17

Coaches are important!  They teach good technique. They inspire us to go beyond our preconceived limits.  They pick us up when we fall. 

I’ve had lots of coaches in my life.  Many of them didn’t even realize they were “coaching” me at the time.  I appreciate each one of their efforts to shape my life over the past 60 something years.

You can find coaches in places other than the sports field.  You find them at work, in the classroom, and even in our spiritual walk.  And whether you think you can or not, you are probably a coach in some way.

Our scripture talks about “As Iron sharpens iron, so to one man sharpens another.”  When we do life together, we sharpen each other’s skills and hold each other accountable which makes everyone grow. 

This week’s challenge is to think back on the coaches in your life.  If you have the chance, reach out to a few of them to thank them for what they have meant to you.

Have a great week!
