Jack Dale’s greatest desire was to win a gold medal in the 50m Olympic freestyle race. His dad was a very talented swimmer and agreed to be his coach. Over the years, Jack followed his dad’s training program and instructions. Sometimes it was really difficult pushing Jack beyond what he thought possible. However, his dream of winning that Gold medal one day helped him persevere. Jack’s dad loved his son and sacrificed everything to help him reach his goal. And so, on that glorious day when Jack held up his Gold medal, his dream realized the only person he wanted to thank and praise was his dad. This can be our story of glory if our heart’s desire is to receive the crown of eternal life in God’s Kingdom (1 Corinthians 9:24-25). Our Heavenly Father has given us his training program and instructions to follow so that we can be part of His Kingdom. Not only has he written the training book (2 Timothy 3:16), he wants to help and direct us every step of our journey. And so, like Jack, let’s show our trust in our Father by obeying his instructions. “LORD, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws; our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.” (Isaiah 26:8). And on that wonderful day of Christ’s appearing, we will receive God’s crown of righteousness and glorify His name forever (2 Timothy 4:8).
