In Training
by Pam Ford Davis

"The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit". Morihei Ueshiba

"All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NAS)."

The heavyweight world champion was in training and adapted to rigid rules. All fighters know the need to discipline their bodies before they enter the ring. They follow a strict diet, exercise and rest in preparation for a big match. Temptations arise; friends coax them to bend the rules. If they are smart, they'll refuse. "No; I'm in training!"

Before I find myself "on the ropes," training in righteousness is essential. God's word prepares me for His work and witness!
