Hebrews 12:12

How has strength and flexibility training improved your game?  In what ways is your team better with it than you would be without it?  Could the Bible have anything to say about such things?  Let’s see.

In Hebrews chapter 12 and verses 12 and 13, we read, “Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.”

Certainly each player is better able to compete when he or she is stronger and more able to withstand injury than when weak.  Thus we hear the admonition to strengthen the hands which hang down and the feeble knees.

Metaphorically, if we see our team as a body, we must all work together to strengthen our teammates who are tired and those who are diminished by injury.  We all have a role in strengthening them and in making straight paths for their feet.  That means to help them gain strength and health, rather than to put them in situations which will worsen their conditions.

Let’s work together to strengthen our team.  Let’s work together as a well-coordinated body to compete in a strong, unified way.
