"practice the patterns"<br />
DAY 3<br />
2 Timothy 1:13-14 NLT<br />
“Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you<br />
learned from me—a pattern shaped by the faith and love<br />
that you have in Christ Jesus. Through the power of the<br />
Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the<br />
precious truth that has been entrusted to you.”<br />
If you have ever watched a drummer, or any musician,<br />
who plays really well, then you are watching a person<br />
who has practiced the same patterns over and over until<br />
they mastered those patterns. <strong>The</strong>y can play those<br />
patterns at very slow tempos and at very fast tempos.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have spent time committing those patterns to<br />
memory until they become like second nature.<br />
That is how we need to treat the things of God - prayer,<br />
study of the word, faith, love, giving, and many other<br />
principles. We have to practice these patterns and<br />
make them part of our everyday lives. Like musicians<br />
who perform on stage, everyday that you wake up you<br />
are on a stage - not performing, but living - and living<br />
out the things of God should become like second nature.<br />
