I was reading my mom's blog today when I noticed a post she did a while ago. She was telling about us watching Chariots of Fire, a movie about the Scottish runner, Eric Liddell who won the Olympics in the year 1924. He was a Christian and also had his own unique style of running. What caught my attention was a phrase from that movie that she posted:
“You can praise God by peeling a spud if you peel it to perfection. Don’t compromise. Compromise is a language of the devil. Run in God’s name and let the world stand back and wonder.”
This is a very good phrase to live by as it shows us that in anything we do, whether it's peeling spuds or winning Olympic medals, we can please God if we do it to our very best. If you do the dishes without a good heart, that doesn't please God. Sing out and do it to your full extent (okay, so you don't have to sing, but you know what I mean).
So remember, even if you don't think what you're doing is very important, if you do it With All Your Might, it pleases God.
'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' Phillipians 4:13
Until we meet again,
