Keep Swinging

Henry (Hank) Aaron is a baseball legend.  He has hit more home runs than anyone else in baseball, even more than Babe Ruth.  Aaron holds the record, and has for many years. Such an achievement requires many qualities, including talent, time, good health, persistence, focus, adaptability, and the ability to overcome obstacles.  Regarding this last quality Aaron once said, “My motto was always to keep swinging.  Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was to keep swinging.” That’s pretty good advice for baseball players.  It’s also pretty good advice for Christians. Keep swinging.  No matter what’s going on around you keep doing the things you do best, keep doing the things that are most important to you, keep focusing on the positive.

Sometimes in your personal life there are a lot of distractions and difficulties to overcome.  You may not feel your best physically or emotionally.  Keep swinging.  You may have financial or employment problems.  Keep swinging.  You may be struggling with a particularly strong temptation.  Keep praying.  Keep reading the Bible.  Keep attending church.  Keep in touch with those who want to help.  You may feel like you have given everything you have to give and those around you are still asking for more.  Don’t give up. Christians keep swinging.

Or it may be broader in scope.  It may be that your family is having difficulties. Good relationships with your spouse and children are always challenging.  Your spouse is selfish and doesn’t understand you, and your children aren’t listening. But don’t give up.  Keep swinging.  Or maybe it’s your in-laws who are troublesome.  I don’t recommend that you swing at them, but do try to work toward positive solutions.  Great Christian relationships require long-term commitment and effort.

Sometimes there are even distractions and difficulties in the church.  The one place where things ought to be the best often is not.  Satan knows how to use our human weaknesses to achieve his purposes.  You can bet he never stops swinging.  He encourages in-house fighting; he promotes discouragement and discontentment. He wants us to tolerate sin.   To counter his attacks, we must keep swinging ourselves.  We must take on the Christian armor, study the scriptures, pray without ceasing, draw near to God, and maintain a pro-active, aggressive advance against Satan.  In the words of Hank Aaron, we must keep swinging!  In the words of Paul, “Stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord …” (1 Cor. 15:58).
