“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” Colossians 3:12-14 NLT

“See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power,
and he rules with a mighty arm.
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.” Isaiah 40:10-11 NIV (emphasis mine)

Because my post today on Real Christian Women was written in my excitement for the Summer Olympics, I feel the need to comment on last night’s opening ceremonies. What has happened to our world?
Scenes from the Opening Ceremony:
I could share more, but this should suffice.
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.” 1 John 4:1-3 NIV (emphasis mine)
I am sad for all the young people who have worked so hard to become an Olympic champion. Now they are forced to be part of an Anti-Christian event or give up their dream. Pray for them.

A sense of excitement always surrounds the Olympics and 2024 is no different. I want to tell you a true story you may not know about a true Olympic champion.
In 1940, a little girl was born in St. Bethlehem, Tennesee. She was the 20th out of 22 children. She grew up in poverty. Their home had neither electricity nor indoor plumbing.
Her life was a struggle from birth. Born two months premature, she weighed only four and a half pounds, but her family had something special: a deep faith in Jesus Christ. She was taught that God had a purpose for her life.
As a young child, she was diagnosed with polio. Her family was told that she would never walk. But his young girl overcame polio to become an Olympic sprint champion! Her name: Wilma Rudolph.
In the 1960 Summer Olympics, her performance established her as one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century. She won three gold medals and broke at least three world records. Wilma Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field at the same Olympic games. Her performance also earned her the title of “the fastest woman in the world.”
Wilma says, “When I was going through my transition of being famous, I asked God, why was I here? What was my purpose? Surely, it wasn’t just to win three gold medals. There has to be more to this
life than that.”
She went on to make a difference in the lives of many people. A devoted Baptist, she joined evangelist Billy Graham‘s Baptist Christian Athletes tour in Japan. Over the years, Rudolph held various teaching positions. She dedicated her life to helping others. Her awards and honors are too numerous to list.
She explained her success, as follows:
My mother taught me very early to believe I could achieve any accomplishment I wanted to. The first was to walk without braces.” Wilma Rudolph
To achieve athletic excellence, Rudolph overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles, including poverty, racism, sexism, and a crippling bout with polio, proof that:
“God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 NASB
Trust the Lord. He has a purpose for YOUR life, too. Whatever obstacles you may face, God will get you through. What is God asking you to do?
“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6 NIV

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21-23 NIV
God rewards those who are faithful in little!

“For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy.” Romans 15:8 NIV (emphasis mine)
Study Bible Notes: “Paul points out that Christ came first as a servant to His own people (Matt. 15:24). Paul may have done that to humble the haughty Gentiles in the Roman church.” (David Jeremiah)
