The Olympic oath reads: “In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.” As believers in Jesus, our chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever (Westminster Shorter Catchism). We glorify Him by the way we live—what we say and do.
In Luke 17, Jesus—after healing the lepers—said, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” The one leper came back to Jesus shouting “Paise God!” and fell at His feet. How are we glorifying God today? What are we doing that shows praise and reverence for Him?

I am reminded of 1 Corin 10:31 …”whatever we do – do it for God” – Our lives should be so ordered that all we say and do points to God.

I love it, may every breath we have, be to HIS Glory. The Apostle Paul i think hit it on the head, “As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Galatians 6:14, NLT)
