STOP AND THINK – Today’s preparation = tomorrow’s performance. (Jim Sheard and Wally Armstrong, golf authors)
Whether it’s the game of golf or the game of life, the principle is valid. What you do today has an important bearing on how you will perform tomorrow. Preparation and practice are important, but more important is how you prepare, how you practice. Practice, you see, does not necessarily make perfect, but it does make permanent. So prepare, but prepare carefully.
Joshua: “Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, ‘Consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow.’” (Joshua 7:13)
