INTRO: The believer should in every aspect give thanks unto the Lord. As an athlete goes through rigorous training to strengthen their body, our hearts should be strengthened by what the Lord has done for us, so that we may be thankful in all things. Once an athlete has accomplished the goal to which they trained for, there is success. The believer should give thanks while training in this life as we’re headed home.
