For many years I would take three bounces, look and concentrate on reaching the back of the front rim, get the feel right on the leather, bend my knees and release the ball properly.

Repetition can create success. I do know that repetition creates memory.

When one includes precision with repeated physical movements, muscle memory occurs.

Muscle memory allows one to stand behind a stripe, concentrate and perform successfully when hundreds, maybe a few thousand people scream.

This same type of memory can create efficiency in our Spirit as well.

Reading the Scriptures repeatedly, dwelling on the words. approaching our Lord in prayer, with pursuit and diligence….creates a spiritual muscle and the memory to give you the ability to STAND, endure and get through circumstances which can buffet you.

Use Scripture to confront all circumstances, whether good or bad, for The Word should be put to work not only in dire straits, but also when full sails and a prompting wind are moving you forward.

Put your practice time in.
