doing the work of the One who sent me.
—John 9:4
I had a college classmate who had enrolled to equip himself to be a preacher. He bought all the books and attended all the classes—except homiletics, where you were required to stand in front of the class and preach. He vowed he wouldn’t preach until he knew how to preach.
That was over a half-century ago. He still hasn’t preached.

“Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing” (Prv 20:4).
If you refuse to get in the water until you’ve learned how to swim, you will never swim.
