Bible Reading: Rom. 8: 18 - 30
Topic: Extra-Curricular Or Co-Curricular
In his Secondary School
days, Edu never took sports seriously.
Whenever it was time for
optional recreational sports, he went and hid himself in a Class Room and read
books.
He thought he was doing
himself good especially as at that time, curriculum experts called sports
"extra-curricular activity"
So that word extra made
him feel that it was not really part of education. But over time, he learnt
that the curriculum experts because of the fundamental role of sports in
learning now decided to call sports "co-curricular activity"
In other words, exercises
are now an integral part of education. He wished he knew that when he was in
Secondary School, he would have taken sports as co-curricular and not
extra-curricular activity and surely he would have been healthier and learnt
better.
Our reading today, informs
us that the challenges of life we face or we may face are part of our training
for manifestation.
They are not unconnected
to our faith. Therefore when they come, we should prayerfully face them,
trusting God to help us learn the inherent lessons that would make us stronger
in the faith.
From today, begin to see
the issues of life as co-curricular to your faith and not as extra-curricular
activities.
Prayer:
Lord, give me the grace to
overcome the challenges of life so that I may love and worship You better,
Amen.
Memory verse: Rom. 8: 1
"And we know that all
things work together for good for good to them that love God, to them who are
called according to His Purpose"
