Triple Threat

Basketball was invented by a Christian in order to reach others for Christ, so it may come as no surprise that the wondrous game furnishes us with spiritual analogies. One of these is the classic triple threat position, where a player holding the ball is postured in such a way so as to shoot, dribble, or pass with equal ease. Well, the prophet Micah provides us with the true triple threat in his well-beloved words:

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Micah 6:8

Faith-filled godliness is a posture of heart and mind which makes us ready at all times to work justice (do what is right), to love faithfulness (to God and others), and to walk mindfully of God’s greatness and our eternal dependance upon him. May he grant us to walk in this simple yet profound Way for his glory.
