Hey! This week, I just wanted to write about the Bible verse below. Let’s do it!

Okay, so in sports, you typically have a coach. They give you pep talks, tips, and tell you what to do. But that’s all they can do. It’s up to you from there to follow their advice and to do what they say so you can succeed in the sport. But sometimes, we don’t want to listen to their advice because we are tired, don’t have much energy, etc. Well, at those points, we need motivation, right? Colossians 3:23-24 is great motivation. Consider this, how would you work if it was for the LORD? Probably as best you can. That’s good! That means you fear the LORD, and want Him to be pleased. Well, these Bible verses aren’t just applied to jobs and things like that. They apply to anything. Everything in fact! Even crochet, sports, school, and anything else. So memorize these verses. It’s only two! Then remind yourself of it often so you can work for the LORD in whatever you do. How do you work like that? Well…

• “Do everything without complaining and arguing,” (Philippians 2:14, NLT)
• “Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave.” (Proverbs 12:24, NLT)
• “Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again-rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4, NLT)

Write all these verses down on a piece of paper, and stick it in your sports duffel, work bag, or whatever else. Memorize them too. Also, you can pray and ask God to work through you and to help you obey all those verses. So, in whatever you do, friends, do it for the LORD. See you next week!
