Roger Federer Honors Rod Laver at the Australian Open

If you're into tennis at all you probably know the name of living legend Roger Federer. Yesterday he was interviewed along with the great Rod Laver, one of the pioneering players who blazed the trail for professionals to play in the open era. Roger, probably the greatest player of all time, was humbly reverent and respectful in the presence of Rod Laver who returned the respectful admiration of Roger.



Spiritually, we are all building on the insights, wisdom, and achievements of those believers who came before us. The Bible, of course, is a record of many pioneering spiritual leaders. Yes, we can learn from their recorded wisdom, but only through our own personal experience, being confronted with difficult choices, can our faith be refined.

Roger Federer wasn't born knowing how to serve an ace on match point. It took hard work and humble determination. The same applies to achieving a "winning" faith!
