Going for Gold with
God's Help

This incident happened shortly after I came to know Christ. I was at
a Christian store with my friend looking for badges, when I chanced
upon this verse from Isaiah 40:31. It caught my eye and I remembered
it totally. And it even became my favourite Bible verse. I really
came to experience the full meaning when it had an impact on my
personal life.
I was having my NAPFA test. a physical fitness test in schools. It's
very important to complete this test especially for guys as it
affects the NS results and posting. Nearing the end of my 2.4km run,
which was the last item for the test, I was completely drained of
all energy. A thought came to my mind to give up eventhough I was at
my last round. Suddenly, I remembered the verse in Isaiah 40:31. I
prayed to God, asking Him for His strength to let me soar like an
eagle. God responded. I finished my run, topped the class in my
NAPFA and scored a perfect 30 points.
To end this testimony on a sweet note, my usual habit on Wednesdays
are to play basketball in the evening with my friends. God's
promised strength did not end at the NAPFA test itself. It gave me
the strength to even play ball after NAPFA! I played it for another
3 hours non-stop. Afterwards, the usual lethargy did not even set
in! Thank God for all that He has done in my life! Praise the Lord!!
