What made Michael Jordan such an extraordinary basketball player was his dedication to the simplistic essentials of the game. He understood that if he mastered them, he'd be almost invincible. So he practiced them, over and over again until they became natural. As followers of Christ, we too must have an intense dedication to the simplistic essentials of the faith. We must practice them over and over again, until they become natural. We cannot allow all the things of this life to cause us to move away from or forget who we are and Whose we are. Today, get back to the basics! Get your Word, pen and paper and find a place of solitude and silence and ask God to help you to refocus. Position yourself to receive from Holy Spirit and ask Him to guide you as you pore over the Scriptures. And then, get up and walk on the firm foundation which has been laid!
