If you’re like me, you really miss the Olympics! There were so many incredible moments at the recent summer games in Tokyo, Japan. (As impressive as it was seeing world-class athletes compete and shatter records,) what blessed me most were the many Christian athletes giving praise to God. 21-year-old Sydney McLaughlin of the USA—who set a world record in the women’s 400 meter hurdles—humbly said, “Jesus has given me everything. Records come and go. The glory of God is eternal.” The men’s rugby sevens team from Fiji loudly sang “we have overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of the Lord” after winning gold. Let’s be sure to regularly lift up Christian athletes—from every country—as they shine for team Jesus and use their platform to proclaim gospel truth on the world stage. Now that’s something to pray about!
