I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. – Philippians
4:13
In the post “Advice for Life”, highlighted is that being
on God’s side gives a tremendous advantage. The scripture above and other memorized
scriptures can be very useful when faced with pressure moments in life.
I once heard about a field goal
kicker in football that repeated over and over in his mind scriptures like the
one above before kicking a field goal. This gave him poise as he got set to
perform the winning kick in the last seconds of the game.
One thing about sports that is
related in life is how we all compete against time. We all set priorities in
the use of our time. As we plan out each day, two questions must be answered: What
is it that needs to be done? What is most important?
The amazing thing to me is that
efficiency is thought of highly in sports but not so much these days in
government, organizations, and businesses. Each sports team competes and the
coach puts players in a position where they can do the best for their team. In
government and in some businesses, people seem to be put out of position. They
are put in a position to fail and organizations are run in such a dysfunctional
way.
We all win some and loose some
but the most important thing is you give it your best. If God is with you
through all of it, then you’ll end up victorious. Here’s a song to inspire us
toward a winning day: Through All of It
by Colton Dixon.
