The Olympics are dominating the media at the moment. It is inspirring to watch the brilliance of so many athletes. For the victors there is the crowning glory of the Gold Medal - the reward of often a lifetime of training.
For others, despite such stirling achievement, there is only the rewrad of having competed.
St Paul talks about trining up for running our race. All of life is a "race" of one sort or another. We need to train for it.
As Christians we are challenged to learn to be Christ like. We do this through the discipline of Prayer, study of the Scriptures and our sharing in the Christian fellowship.
The more Christ like we are, the more we can reflect his light and truth into the world about us.
AS we run our race the reward is the " unfading crown of eternal life"
