July 25, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, July 25.
We're just one day away from the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympic Games. The closing ceremony will be Sunday, August 11, and, in between, we'll see over 10,000 athletes from more than 200 countries striving to win the gold. It happens every four years - well, the last one was just three years ago because of Covid - but let's not remember that! It's time for a whole new set of memories, for a whole new set of memorable moments.
And it's time for another set of scriptures that feature sports metaphors. On your mark. Get set. Go!
*Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life, and in the life to come. I Timothy 4:8
*An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 2 Timothy 2:5
*Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every weight that hinders us, and the sin that so easily entangles us. And let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us . . . Hebrews 12:1-2
*I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
