testing of mighty
brings on rigorous trial
reaching toward gold goal
battle rages in contest
showing victory in sight

I know this contest is about the Olympic games! I'm a Bible Scholar & everything in life reminds me of my life in Him. I think of the Olympics & I'm immediately drawn to the parallels of life in The Way with Him! Being a disciple in The Christ means being in an Olympian like contest! This is why I include the scripture I'm posting to bring those parallels out! Thanks for running this contest! Life is a contest...
1Co 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1Co 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Yahshua The Christ:
1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? {grave: or, hell}
1Co 15:57 But thanks be to Yah, which giveth us the victory through our Master Yahshua The Christ.

YOU KNOW I LOVE THIS ONE MY FRIEND
DEATH IS INDEED SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY,
FAITH IS BY FAR OUR MOST PRECIOUS GIFT,
IT IS OUR FAITH AND OUR FAITH ALONE THAT CREATES OUR REALITY, WHERE THERE IS FAITH THERE IS NO FEAR, WHERE THERE IS NO FEAR THERE IS NO HATE, WHERE THERE IS NO HATE THERE IS GOD.
I AM SORRY I AM TOO WORDY
BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
GOD BLESS...
