Why is Nike's slogan, "Just do it!" so powerful? Because it reminds athletes that in order to be successful you have to set aside how you feel or other distractions and just go do what you need to do. Like practice when no one's looking. Spiritually we need to do the same.
Too often we look to our feelings to inspire us to act in a loving way, to put the other person first, to read the Bible, to pray, or even go to church. Just seek God and his kingdom purposes, love as you have been loved.
Therefore let all the godly pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
Psalms 32:6-7 (NIV)
