"Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever." - 1 Corinthians 9:25
During the Paris Olympics, there have been so many amazing feats of athleticism, with multiple new world records set across a variety of competitions. Such results aren’t the result of happenstance or luck; years of training and discipline have helped produce these great accomplishments. The Lord calls all who follow Him to give their all as we endeavor to love and serve both God and the people around us. How we live matters, and God will use us to make a real difference. Let’s make the most of the opportunities He has given us, knowing there is an eternal crown that awaits.
