1 Timothy 4:8 (NLT)
“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”
“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”
Father
the athletes playing in the Super Bowl this Sunday will demonstrate the results
of physical training, discipline and determination to win. These are all admirable
traits in the pursuit of excellence.
Father
may we recognize with the Apostle Paul that: “All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a
prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So
I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27 I
discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should.
Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be
disqualified.”
1 Corinthians 9:25-27 (NLT)
I ask Father that we Christians may be devoted in
our daily lives to the training and discipline of godliness which will honor
and glorify you. And I pray for the safety and success of your people serving
you in the arena of life. I would also pray for those engaged in a game of
great competition (Super Bowl 50) to be safe from serious injury and to
demonstrate the kind of sportsmanship that would honor you and be a credit to
their game.
Through every area of endeavor I pray for your glory
in the name of Jesus who accomplished the greatest victory, salvation through
faith in his sacrifice for us.
