It’s all over the place: the push to move yourself up the ladder of influence, success and fame. From self-indulgent Instagram posts to pushing a teammate out of the way to end up on top, we can be tempted to try and amass as much glory for ourselves in our sport as possible.
But, even if you reach the heights of success, isn’t something off? Does it feel like something is missing? Could it be that we were never meant to hold the weight of glory? Perhaps, that glory belongs to Someone else.
Look at who you are. How you have been made in God’s image, fashioned with His hands, your heart beating to His. Every piece of our self has been stitched by a caring God, whose glory far outlasts any worldly praise we could want for ourselves.
“For it was you who created my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will praise you
because I have been remarkably and wondrously made. Your works are wondrous, and I know this very well.
My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in secret, when I was formed in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began.” – Psalm 139:13-16
