Sometimes we succeed! There
are days in our service of the men and women of sport when it seems like
everything we touch works. Our team is playing well. Our ministry is well
received. We experience great favor with most everyone. We have proper life and
work balance. We sleep well, feel strong as an ox, run like a gazelle, and
nothing we eat makes us fat. It’s awesome!
When those days come your
way, and they will, don’t be in a hurry. Stay there. Soak up all the goodness
you can. Revel in the beauty of success. It’s far too rare.
In those days, be sure to
express thankfulness to everyone involved. In our service we are always invited
guests. We are experiencing much of this success because we were welcomed into
this community. Our Lord has granted us favor with those in authority to
further His purposes in the lives of all we encounter. Let that reality keep
your ego in check as you feel the luxurious emotions of success.
Sometimes we succeed. Let’s
maintain humility and a thankful heart when we do. This pleases the Lord and
keeps us from acting like entitled jerks.
