OK, so I know the Olympics are over (I can get some sleep again!) but one final thought keeps coming to me. There were several high profile Track & Field relay races in which the batons were dropped thus disqualifying the entire team from advancing to the finals or placing in a final.
The thing is this - not only did the ones who dropped the batons lose out on a medal, but the entire team lost out. They did not just hurt themselves, they hurt everyone else on their team. The individuals and teams had been training for years and in a split-second all their work was in vain.
What teams are we on? Our families, work, church, specific ministries? Who do we hurt when we drop the baton? When we don't do our part? When we don't come through? When we don't do what we say we will do?
God, please help us to do our part - to follow through and finish well. Don't let my team fail because of me. Help our team to accomplish all that you have given us to do.
