“Receive…
knowledge rather than choice gold. For
wisdom is better… all the
things that may be desired are not to be compared to it” (Proverbs
8:10,11). “I have fought a good fight, I
have finished my course, I have
kept the faith: henceforth there is laid
up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall
give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His
appearing” (2 Timothy 4:7,8).
Going
for gold, in Olympic game terms,
Requires
an uncompromised dedication:
But
when all that glory is eaten by worms,
There’s
glory far better than gold in salvation.
Thank
God for Olympic contestants today
Who
know that the glory belongs to the Lord.
Praise
God for the platform it gives them to say
The
glory of God is their greatest reward.
O
Lord, help us strive for the crown, by Your grace,
That
henceforth is laid up to cast at Your feet
For
fighting the good fight, for running the race,
And
keeping the faith till our course is complete.
