Sports Maturity: Competing as an Athlete

Thoughts for Further Reflection

The most valuable thing to many in the world is money. To them, money opens doors, buys power or control or happiness, and money will solve all their problems. People are often stepped on, sold into a form of or literal slavery, and leveraged in some way for money. The Bible teaches that the least valuable thing in God’s kingdom is money; people are the most valuable thing in heaven’s economy. Consider that juxtaposition.

Prayer

God, I come to you in repentance for any time I’ve partnered with a spirit of lack or held a poverty mindset. I confess and repent for any time I’ve placed anything tied to a want or need in my life over you and your word. Help me to see heaven’s value on people and avoid piercing my soul over craving money or anything that money can buy instead of relying on you to provide. Amen.

Main Idea

As an athlete, I compete to win the eternal prize and a legitimate earthly prize, one not marred by harming myself or harming others.
