The Thought of the Week
by Georgie Márquez-André

August 24, 2004

I was out of town most of this weekend... so the Thought of the Week will be a short one!

This month, we have been watching as men and women from all over the world excell individually and in teams in amazing competions.

As you watch, however, remember that what we are seeing is the culmination of what in many cases has been a lifetime worth of effort.

The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare. - Juma Ikangaa, course record holdr in the New York City marathon.

TRIUMPH, n. the act, fact, or condition of being victorious or highly successful

VICTORY, n. a success or superior position achieved agains any opponent, opposition, difficulty, etc.

SUCCESS, n. the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.

... we are no longer to be children tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;
but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ. Ephesians 4:14-15

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Ephesians 6:10-13

Have a blessed week.
