It takes practice

Fishing isn’t as easy as it looks. Grab a pole. Stick a worm on the hook. Throw it in the water.

Guess what. You do that and you’ll be eating hot dogs for supper, not fish. Catching fish takes time, patience and most of all, practice. Same thing with living a Christian life. When you practice what you’ve learned:

“The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me,

practice these things; and the God of peace shall be with you.” 

—  Philippians 4:9
