Champions for Christ

Did you know that when you're in Christ, you have the heart of a champion? That means you can take maximum pressure and come right back after pressure. That means you can push yourself like an Olympic athlete and act as though it were no big deal -- business as usual. That's what Olympians and serious/professional athletes train for. That's why they train so hard. They know it will be a time when they will have to exercise much force and work to their maximum speed, strength, endurance, and stamina, physically, mentally, and emotionally. And if they're going to win the gold medal, the trophy, or the prize they can't sweat and give up and give in under the intense and magnified pressure. They're champions and they refuse to lose. Remember David, when he went against the giant, Goliath in 1 Samuel 17? David already knew he would win before the battle (or lack thereof), began. He trusted the Lord coming and going. He was a champion for Christ.

David had heart -- the heart of a champion. That's the same heart a person has for Christ when they refuse to give up. Psalm 31:24 says, "Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!" That means when we're strong and courageous, we will be able to stand the pressure just like David did -- a man's after God's own heart (Acts 13:22).

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately.

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa
