Plan de Devocionales Olímpicos: Lucha y TriunfoMuestra

"Libro de Estrategias para la Vida" Although she was studying medicine at Oxford University, Stephanie Cook had an interest in the pentathlon as a hobby. This difficult event puts athletes like Steph through five rigorous challenges — fencing, shooting, swimming, riding and running. The appeal of the pentathlon drew Steph to train and compete internationally.

Sooner than she expected, Steph Cook found herself in Sydney, Australia, putting her schooling on hold to compete in the 2000 Summer Olympics. The transition was sudden and daunting, as she found herself against competitors who had trained their whole lives for the Olympics.

Steph had began to own her faith in Jesus Christ in her high school and college years. She found it valuable to spend time reading the Bible and seeking guidance from it for her life. A friend of hers gave her a collection of verses to read at the training camp and competitions in Sydney — one verse each day.

“It was lovely for me to have them each day as a focus and to build them into my quiet times [alone in prayer and Bible study],” reflects Steph. It gave her an opportunity to focus on God each day.

By meditating on God’s Word and keeping His promises in her heart, Steph found the strength, determination and courage to do her best, even though she felt intimidated by her competition. In the end, God does not promise us the results that we desire just because we follow Him. But the physical, mental and spiritual training did prepare Steph for her Olympic moment, and she won the gold.

The Bible is filled with stories of men and women who faced huge obstacles and difficulties but trusted in God and His promises to love, protect and provide for us. While our situations are not the same as those described in the Bible, we can still depend on God's Word and character as we face our own challenges.

That’s why Steph encourages every believer to spend time reading the Bible every day. “I find it very important to be disciplined in my Christian life and to try to have regular quiet times each day.”

You might not be preparing for an Olympic pentathlon like Steph Cook was, but no matter where you are or what you’re facing, God can speak to you through the Bible.

Questions: What Bible verses do you know that help keep your focus on God during your daily routines? Have you committed to reading the Bible for guidance in following the path He has planned for you?

Prayer: Lord, I know that Your Word provides the wisdom and encouragement I need today. Please give me the desire to read the Bible, and open my eyes to see the truth and hope You have for me there.

Este difícil evento hace pasar a atletas como Steph por cinco desafíos rigurosos - esgrima, tiro, natación, montar a caballo y correr. El atractivo del pentatlón llevó a Steph a entrenar y competir a nivel internacional.

"Más pronto de lo que esperaba, Steph Cook se encontró en Sydney, Australia, poniendo sus estudios en espera para competir en los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano en el año 2000. La transición fue repentina y de enormes proporciones cuando se encontró frente a los competidores que se habían entrenado toda su vida para los Juegos Olímpicos.

"

"Steph había comenzado a reconocer su fe en Jesucristo en el instituto y la universidad. Encontró valioso pasar el tiempo leyendo la Biblia y buscando una guía para su vida en ella. Un amigo le dio una colección de versículos para leer en el campo de entrenamiento y competiciones en Sydney - un versículo cada día.

"

"Era una maravilla para mí tenerlos cada día como un foco e incorporarlos en mis momentos de tranquilidad (sola orando y estudiando la Biblia)", refleja Steph. Esto le dio la oportunidad de centrarse en Dios cada día.

"
Al meditar en la Palabra de Dios y guardar sus promesas en su corazón, Steph encontró la fuerza, la determinación y el coraje para hacer lo mejor posible, a pesar de que se sentía intimidada por su competencia. Al final, Dios no nos promete los resultados que deseamos sólo porque lo seguimos. Sin embargo, el entrenamiento físico, mental y espiritual prepararon a Steph para su momento olímpico y ganó el oro.
"

"
La Biblia está llena de historias de hombres y mujeres que se enfrentaron a enormes obstáculos y dificultades, pero confiaron en Dios y en sus promesas de amar, proteger y proveer para nosotros. Aunque nuestras situaciones no son las mismas que las descritas en la Biblia, todavía podemos depender de la Palabra de Dios y los personajes para enfrentarnos a nuestros propios desafíos.
"

Es por eso que Steph anima a cada creyente a pasar tiempo leyendo la Biblia todos los días. "Creo que es muy importante ser disciplinada en mi vida cristiana e intentar tener un horario regular tranquilo cada día”.

Puede que no te estés preparando para un pentatlón olímpico como Steph Cook, pero no importa dónde estés o a lo que estás haciendo frente, Dios puede hablarte a través de la Biblia.

Preguntas: ¿Qué versículos de la Biblia sabes que te ayudan a mantener tu enfoque en Dios durante tus rutinas diarias? ¿Te has comprometido con la lectura de la Biblia como guía para seguir el camino que él ha planeado para Tí?

Oración : Señor, sé que Tu Palabra proporciona la sabiduría y el estímulo que necesito hoy. Por favor, dame el deseo de leer la Biblia, y abre mis ojos para ver la verdad y la esperanza que tienes para mí en ella.
