I'm a Baylor Bear. Those words haven't always been as fun to say as they are these days, but it's true. I am a Green and Gold kind of guy. The Queen and I met there. I still love the school. We did ministry there. We have friends there. On and on.
We squared up against the Longhorns this past Saturday in Austin. That usually ends up very poorly for us as a football team.
But not this Saturday. Granted, it was as ugly as two aardvarks and a mud puddle, but we did walk away with the W.
At one point, I tweeted that we looked more like butter knives than steak knives. We needed to be a lot sharper. Outside of a blocked kick returned for a touchdown, we were anemic at best. But we stuck it out. Our team kept doing what they needed to do - defense, tackling, blocking, and so forth. We won. 28-7, in case you're keeping score at home.
We won because we kept doing what needed doing.
Keep doing what needs doing.
Spiritually dry? Keep doing what needs doing - prayer, Bible, service.
Marriage running on empty? Keep doing what needs doing - talking, time.
Relationship frayed? Keep doing what needs doing - forgiveness, mercy, blessing.
I could keep going but you get the idea. Personally and pastorally, I know there are seasons of my own life and those I love in which things are easier, more fruitful, etc. But in the hard seasons, just doing what needs to be done is how you keep walking, keep going, and stay faithful.
The emotions have to come along with it eventually. The energy does too. But just keep walking
Keep doing what needs doing.
