A good coach measures your performance against your strengths, not somebody elses. The Word For Today ucb.co.uk/word-for-today.html 20 Jun 2014 Who Advises You? Listen to advice...and...you will be wise... Proverbs 19:20 You may be good at what you do. Indeed, you may be better than most, but without the help of others you will never be as good as you could be. You will never reach your highest potential without a good adviser. Its impossible. Why would a world- class tennis player need a coach, especially one who is not as good on the court as he or she is? Andre Agassi answered the question this way: Tennis requires subtle adjustments crucial to winning and my coach, Gill, is the best at making them. The older I get, the more valuable he becomes. Why is that? Because age and experience dont necessarily make you better; often they just deepen the rut youre in. In life, as in sports, you never reach the point where you dont need good input. Yet many of us operate under the misguided assumption that because we lead, we dont need to be led. We make the mistake of measuring ourselves against others instead of our own God-given potential and in the end we never become what we could have been. Self-evaluation is important, but the evaluation of others is crucial. A good coach measures your performance against your strengths, not somebody elses. Thats because he or she knows what youre capable of and they will push you to your limit. And by the way, good coaches are constantly on the scene observing, not back at the office waiting for a report. Thats because they are personally invested in your success; a win for you is a win for them. Ruth needed Naomi and Timothy needed Paul. Who advises you? Bible in a Year: Ezek 14:1 -16:52; Luke 2:1-7; Ps 144:1-8; Pr 14:1-4;
