Training for Reigning
As we look forward to the Summer Olympics in Paris which open on July 26, it’s worth reflecting on what every man and woman has done who has qualified to represent their country at the Olympic games.
Athletic genes certainly help because as trainer Sam Mussabini says in the film Chariots of Fire, “You can’t put in what God’s left out.”
But after one’s genetic inheritance, it takes tremendous discipline, commitment, sacrifice, and years of hard work to achieve the goal of qualifying for the Olympics, to say nothing of winning a medal and being one of the three best people in the world at an event.
As followers of Jesus, we’re invited to run a race of faith that also requires effort, focus, and devotion. Hebrews 12:1-2 tells us we follow the example of Jesus and Paul urges us in 1 Corinthians 9:24 to run our race in such a way that we may win it. We hope you’ll join us for the next four weeks as we get in a “spiritual” gym and learn more about Training for Reigning.
