Reflection:

This verse tells the believers to practice an activity or skill to become competent with it. Not only that, it said that we should devote ourselves to what we are doing. And that is the road to success.

As Christians, we are expected to walk in faith, trust in God, share the gospel, be kind, be merciful, be forgiven, pray, believe, and not be afraid.

So, if we want to learn all those things, we should read diligently and devotedly the manual that God has given us, the Bible. We should also open our eyes to what is happening in our lives so that we could practice what we are learning and where God is opening a door for us to be able to do what he called us to.
