“I believe God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast! And when I run I feel His pleasure.” - Eric Liddell (1902-1945)
These are the words of an Olympic athlete who later turned missionary to China. I know that pleasure in my cycling. I cannot help but enjoy being on a bike, whether on a trail or on the road. I do not do it because I want to clock laps, but because it is a great pleasure, and satisfies greatly.
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." - 1 Corinthians 10:31
I want my cycling about to be done for the glory of God, in that it does bring the fullness of the gospel into this earthly realm. Let my passion for life show in my cycling, the fullness and abundance of Your life in me shown in my cycling. Permit me to bring Your gospel to otherwise unopened hearts because they witness Your goodness in my life. It's not about the set of wheels I ride, but about how You grant this deep desire of my heart because You love me so much. This is my prayer, Lord Jesus, because what good is all this pleasure if it did not make Your name loud?
