"I want to thank GOD for everything he has done for me cause without him none of this wouldn't be possible." - Usain Bolt
The Jamaican Usain Bolt, is the fastest man on the planet: he is the first to hold the 100 and 200 meters world records. He won six Olympic gold medals in two Olympic games, in sprinting. Bolt is also an eight-time world champion and a a devout Christian. He characteristically mouths a prayer to his creator, before every race, and after each victory he publicly gives thanks to Jesus Christ. He's not ashamed to do so. Following his second gold medal in the 2012 London Olympics, where his time in the 200m was 19.32 seconds, just a few hundredths of a second outside the current Olympic record, Usain added: "I want to thank GOD for everything he has done for me cause without him none of this wouldn't be possible."
When you decide to take a certain job, or contract, apart from the financial gain attached, whom do you desire, sincerely, to please? What is the driving force behind your striving? Like Bolt, we all have our fields in which we run daily. Usain Bolt is representing Christ in a bid to obtain the price...are you?
As you run the race of life, let at the back of your mind be the thought, to deflect all the glory back to God, Jesus Christ your maker. Take your Christian walk as seriously, as you do your business. That business is your own pulpit, preach Christ by your attitude, conduct, principles and lifestyle. Let others indeed see Jesus in you. Desire to be more like Christ, and to be more for Him.
