BREAKFAST!!! Mike starts us off well-fed for an early start to the day. Even at 7 am, 65 people are pretty boisterous in this church hall, and everyone is eager to set about the day. We'll be reporting in later....
The Rock basketball camp was great today! Many kids came the first day, and many were returners. It was so wonderful being able to see these kids that we have known for years, and hear all about their school year and their sports accomplishments. For the whole basketball camp coaches we consider it a blessing to be able to watch these kids grow through out the years in their playing ability and in their relationship with God. Today camp was filled with drills, plays and conditioning. We also learned about the character of David and why God chose him to be the future king of Israel.
This week we are focusing on the game within the game, what we do to prepare for the game. We practice, we have to be teachable, we need to practice teamwork, and we need to know the plan. In our lives we need to trust in the Lord and not lean on our own understanding and God will lead us on the right path (Proverbs 3:5-6). We need to follow God so we are where he wants us to be. David's heart was to seek and know God, and God looked at his heart when he chose to appoint him as king. David was able to be courageous, and have great faith to defeat Goliath because he knew how mighty the living God was.
Despite David's age and appearance God used him to be bold and courageous in his name, and gave him the victory. David's great faith showed in his life when he was facing death and God continued to deliver him. David said that the Lord is his Rock and his deliverer! This same Rock, and deliverer is here with us today.
