Let me introduce to you a man, Eric Liddell. He was a Scottish athlete who was the fastest 100 meter runner in 1924. So, he was supposed to go to Olympics and run for 100 meter race. But, Eric soon found that the competition was going to be held on Sunday. He had a dilemma, because Sunday was a day he went to church to worship God. So, he told people, "On Sunday, I must honor God. So, I cannot run the race." Even though people told him, "It's ok. Eric. It's just one Sunday. Just run the race and win the gold medal for you, and for our nation!" But, Eric made his mind not to run. Because to Eric, honoring God was more important than the gold medal.What about you? Do you live your life to honor God? Honoring God means that you are living to show the world that God is the most important one in your life. So, Eric did not run and did not win the gold medal! But, next day, Eric found out that there was another 400 meter race. But, the problem was that Eric was never good with 400 meter race. But, he still ran. And, the result? You have to watch this for yourself.
You see, when we live our lives to honor God, He honors us. God honors us, so that we may tell the world: "God is the most important one in the world!"
"...Those who honor me I will honor..." (1 Samuel 2:30).
