Before I got saved I competed in drug free powerlifting competition. In my vain selfish life back then my whole day centered around my workout. I watched everything I ate and everything I did. If I thought something would hurt or hinder my performance I would not do it or would try to get out of doing it if I had to. Many social and physical privileges and comforts were laid aside. I wanted that reward on meet day. If I thought something would help my performance I would do it. I was constantly trying to read and see things to learn more to become more effective and inspire me to work harder. I always made sure my form was perfect and any lift would be unquestionably passed by the scrutiny of the strictest judge. By meet day things went relatively smooth and was a breeze. I did all this for an earthly, temporal reward and the praise of men. If as a sinner I was willing to do all of this for a temporal, earthly corruptible crown for the praise of men then how much more should I be willing to discipline myself, consecrate myself, lay aside comforts and pleasures for an eternal, incorruptible crown to win the praise of God and win the souls of men?
