A GOLD MEDAL OR CROWN OF GOLD?

I have enjoyed watching the different venues during this year's Olympic games.I suppose I enjoyed the rhythmic gymnastics best, because Gymnastics was my specialty! This was where the gymnasts used a hoop, or band, to enhance their routine on the equiptment. The precision that they showed was remarkable! It took alot of dedication and practice, and yes......focus on what they were doing!
(It also helped to be so physically inclined too folks!)
It helps us as Christians, when God calls us for His own, to be ready to perform for Him. Not in a showy manner, but by staying focused on His word and banding together with other believers. Staying in Christian fellowship, will help when we step forth in the spotlight, because we will be so focused on God's word, that practicing what He says, will become second nature to us!
Someday,then,we'll get a Crown of Gold,instead of a gold medal!
