Hey, Coach!
Hey,
Coach, what can I do to get open? Hey,
coach, how can I help the team better in the next game? What can I do to improve my free throws,
Coach? How can I get a faster start in
the race?
Athletes of all sorts seek out advice
from their coaches on how to improve their game. Coaches can usually pick out even little
things that can help the student who wants to do better at the given
sport. Sometimes just pointing out one
or two small things will help them focus and just that focus will improve their
performance.
In our lives as Christians, God has
provided “coaches” to help us along the path of life on our way to heaven. Parents are the foremost coaches for their
children. As parents, it’s your
responsibility to lead by example and correction. Pastors and teachers are here to help you
carry out your responsibilities and reinforce your guidance. God has also
provided his Holy Spirit to work on the hearts of these little ones, to guide
and recall those who are straying. All
of us working together to carry out God’s plan for each child, His plan of
bringing each of them safely into His Heavenly Kingdom. Be thankful that God has not left us alone in
this responsibility!
