The legendary Scottish athlete and missionary, Eric Liddell (on whom the
movie 'Chariots of Fire' is based) was once asked about how he mixed his
faith with his sprinting. He cheerfully replied, "God made me fast. And
when I run, I feel His pleasure." It was a wonderful way to express his
love of God and to give Him the glory for Eric's athletic gifts. Whether
he preached, served, or ran, Eric's life was lived to the glory of God
and he has been a great example of witness and encouragement to
Christian athletes everywhere for almost 100 years.
We all lead
different lives, come from different backgrounds, and end up in
different careers. We are each uniquely created by God for a purpose
that no one else can fulfill. What we do with our lives is important to
the overall work of God's salvation in the world. How we witness to Him
in our homes, schools, and workplaces can either encourage or deter
people from drawing closer to Christ.
Wherever you go today,
whatever you do, and whoever you meet, try to be an encouraging witness
for God. Whatever you accomplish or fulfill, give God the credit for
allowing you the skills, gifts, and time to achieve your goals. In
everything, give glory to God. In all that you are, glorify Him today.
