I can only imagine the level of dedication, the hours of practice, and the countless sacrifices required to become an Olympic athlete. I suspect that the alarm clock would become your enemy on many mornings, but I know that no athlete makes it to that level of competition alone. Family, friends, and coaches each play an integral part in supporting the athlete and helping them reach their potential in whichever sport they choose.
My alarm clock is often my enemy, but my motivation doesn’t come from a beeping machine or jingle playing on my phone. “Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world” (I John 4:4). No matter what job I have had, no matter where I have lived, or what I have endeavored to do, I know that it would be impossible without the support of family, friends, and the body of Christ.
May this verse be your motivation on this Wake-up Wednesday:
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Hebrews 10:24
