“I want to win so I can give God the glory.”
•••
So give God the glory when you lose.
God doesn’t work only in the winning. God works in us while we’re losing. The world doesn’t need to see us praising just while we’re on the podium. The world needs to see us praising Him while we’re walking out of the game or the arena as a loser. Not as a giddy, ‘everything is fine’ loser. But as a loser who knows there’s more and that God deserves the praise no matter the outcome. He is Lord. And He works when we lose just as He works when we win.
