Most everyone knows that Olympic athletes don’t just show up
at an event, participate, stand on the podium, and get a metal hung around
their neck. To receive a metal takes
much more than that. Hours, days, weeks,
months, and years go into preparation and training. Each athlete puts himself through a rigorous
training regimen, all with the ultimate goal of Olympic gold. Sometimes I’m afraid people approach living
the Christian life without much thought of spiritual preparation or training. The Bible
says, “Bodily
exercise is all right, but spiritual exercise is much more important and is a
tonic for all you do. So exercise
yourself spiritually, and practice being a better Christian because that will
help you not only now in this life, but in the next life too” (1 Timothy 4:8, LB). Why not take time now to prepare and train yourself
spiritually so you can be all you need to be for the cause of Christ?
