Godly Flexibility

We need to be very flexible.  I am talking about the ability to adapt to changing circumstances without missing a beat.  God has called us to adapt to the circumstances He brings our way with grace, knowing that He brought them and is in complete control over them.  He expects our reaction to glorify Him.

Romans 14:5-6 - One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God

This verse teaches us to be flexible in regards to the needs of others, putting the conscience of others before our own preferences.  That is precisely what we do when we are unselfish and flexible, willing to be used in the way God wants us to be.  This sometimes shows itself in the way coaches use players...maybe not what the player (or parent) wants, but a flexible, adaptable player does what is asked of him for the benefit of others!
