With the Olympics starting very soon makes me think of the passion the athletics have for winning. The hours of training and pain they go thru to be the very best they can be and bring home the gold. Sometimes I have to stop and think what is driving me at this very moment in my life. There are certainly a lot of things that get my attention. I get over whelmed at times with all the things going on in my life my priorities get all out of balance and I have to refocus. The biggest challange I face is having the time to spend reading the bible and praying. I really have a deep passion inside to want to be all that God wants me to be for him and to do his will. I look at the Olympic athletics and the train day after day no matter what comes there way they train. I want to be and Olympic Christian! To have the passion for Christ that nothing will stand in the way of me winning the Gold! Jesus did not die a cruel death and shed his blood for me to just go to church for and hour on Sunday and that be it until the next Sunday rolls around. He died and shed his blood for me to live my life every day to my fullest free from sin and the mess of this world. To be and Olympic Christian you have to die to self-will and to the flesh. To trust God when it just does not make any sense. To live beyond fear and have courage and not give up when things get tuff. To fully trust God and do what’s right when no one is looking. God wants real men and women who are not just playing the game for fun he wants’ the ones that are in it the game to win the Gold. To be transformed from this world and have the passion for his will for there life. The training never stops for and Olympic Christian until death. The training is hard at times and it all comes from life’s lessons and the leading of the Holy Spirit WoW! What a coach the Holy Spirit coaching us living inside of us. Having the power to conquer any thing. The Olympic athletics stay in the games now matter how they feel because of their passion for winning. As Christians we sure can’t be and Olympian if we live on our feelings. There are times that it gets hard and you just don’t feel like putting forth the effort. I am not going to list all the feelings you could feel that would make anybody want to just quit. The thing is the mindset you have will be whether or not you want to be or will be and Olympic Christian. Watch this clip below to see what a mind set can do.
