Do you know what muscle memory is? Professional athletes are what they are because they train their bodies to do the same motion without thinking about. Take a tennis player, they swing the racket the same way every time they serve the ball. They pitch the ball the same height every time, the racket meets the ball the same every time. The only way this is possible is for them to do the same motion hundreds of thousands of times over years of practice. They do have natural ability but their muscles have to “remember” those motions.
Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. John 13:17 (NIV)
Jesus told us what we needed to know about doing God’s will. He taught His disciples. He set the example. He taught them how to pray. He explained what we are to do in Matt. 28:18-20. (Look it up it you don’t know it)
Accepting Jesus is a one-time action in your life. Becoming His disciple is a life long training program. “Now that you know these things ….. you will be blessed if YOU DO THEM.” Believe it or not He has already told you what God’s Will is for you life and it isn’t some secret knowledge.
In exercise it is called “repetition” or doing “reps”. Doing the same thing over and over until it becomes second nature. Hey, Jesus said, “Be born again” and Paul taught that that new birth brings a “new nature”. Doing the things Jesus told us to do over and over and over will make that new nature the one nature you live by. “Now that you know these things!”
