Day 2: Money
Thoughts for Further Reflection
The most valuable thing to many in the world is money. To them, money opens doors, buys power or control or happiness, and money will solve all their problems. People are often stepped on, sold into a form of or literal slavery, and leveraged in some way for money. The Bible teaches that the least valuable thing in God’s kingdom is money; people are the most valuable thing in heaven’s economy. Consider that juxtaposition.
Prayer
God, I come to you in repentance for any time I’ve partnered with a spirit of lack or held a poverty mindset. I confess and repent for any time I’ve placed anything tied to a want or need in my life over you and your word. Help me to see heaven’s value on people and avoid piercing my soul over craving money or anything that money can buy instead of relying on you to provide. Amen.
Main Idea
As an athlete, I compete to win the eternal prize and a legitimate earthly prize, one not marred by harming myself or harming others.
About this Plan
Competition can be harmful when it becomes a source of worship for you—either you worship the glory itself or what the title of "athlete" gives you, things like money, influence, or identity. If you don’t know from the outset what you’re competing for, you’ll miss the real prize and be easily enticed away from your original passion for the game and the full use intended for your athletic gifts.
