The Shepherd’s Heart
I keep hearing more and more these days about athletes who are ”at the top of their form.” With the Olympics coming soon, and the All Star break upon us in Major League Baseball, it’s easy to see how the sports world might be talking about those folks who are in top form.And, with election season just around the corner, it is very important for us to pay close attention in an effort to determine just who might be in the best position to lead our country forward.More importantly, I believe, is for each of us to take stock of our lives and see what form we are in concerning our spiritual lives.I believe that for any of us to be spiritually at the top of our form, we must consume God’s word and let it take hold of who we are.2 Peter 1:3-4 says: “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
