I think about all the Olympic play- ers who spend hours practicing their sport and exercising vigorously so that they can be in top shape for the race. Then, they give 110% effort in training and in their performance on game day, because they want to earn that gold medal. Apostle Paul uses the analogy of the athlete's intensity to how Christians should display their ef- fort in this Christian journey. He states in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (MSG), "You've all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You're after one that's gold eternally. I don't know about you, but I'm running hard for the finish line. I'm giving it everything I've got. No lazy living for me! I'm staying alert and in top condition. I'm not going to get caught napping, tell- ing everyone else all about it, and then missing out myself." Discipline One of the ways that God helps us to win the race is through correct- ing us. What kind of coach would let his player make a mistake, but never correct him? The player would not be adequately prepared, and the coach would be considered incompetent. Our God is good, loving, and full of all wisdom, he wouldn't do that to us. Our part is to listen and obey him, realizing that God loves us and knows what's best for us. Hebrews 12:11 (CEV) says, "It is never fun to be corrected. In fact, at the time it is always pain- ful. But if we learn to obey by being corrected, we will do right and live at peace." In fact, not only will we have peace when we obey God, but we will have the strength and the endurance to walk this path with power, tenacity, and victory. Psalm 18:32-34 (ESV) says, "The God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. He trains my hands for war so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. " PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Father, I am in awe of your great- ness. Thank you for always causing me to win. If it had not been for your good- ness, where would I be? Praise your holy name. Whether I am up or down, happy or sad, you cause me to walk in victory, because whatever I need is found in you. You have comfort for my sadness and strength for my weak- ness. You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping. You clear the way for me so that I won't stumble. I love you. In Jesus' name, I pray - Amen."
