Gold Medal Finish

4 Kids

My wife Darlene loves the Winter Olympics. Each night she turns on the TV and I fall asleep as she watches skaters and skiers and other winter olympians competing in Vancouver. As I drift off to sleep, I am amazed at the determination of those who compete. Many of them began practicing when they were very young. Each one follows a very tough schedule of training for his or her sport.

Becoming a gold medal winner takes a great deal of time and effort. God has called each one of us to be strong finishers in the race called life. We can run the race of life and win with His help. It will take time in prayer and study of his Word, the Bible. Our spiritual and mental muscles will need to be trained on a daily basis so that when big turns or hard landings come, we can press on to the finish.

The next time you watch Olympics or any sporting event on TV, remember to train for your eternal gold medal finish.
