Donʼt Stop Till You Get There – Inspired by Bo Jackson
Have you ever felt like you’re giving your all but still not getting where you want to be? Imagine Bo Jackson, the only athlete to be named an All-Star in two major American sports, baseball and football, throwing in the towel before reaching his goals. Today, let’s draw inspiration from his journey and learn the power of perseverance.
Embrace the Journey with Faith
Like Bo Jackson, you might be faced with challenges that test your limits. Yet the Bible reminds us, “I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13). Your faith is your greatest fuel. When you’re immersed in difficulties, remember that God is with you, guiding your steps.
Do you believe that your journey, with all its ups and downs, has a purpose? Embrace it with open arms, knowing that every step, no matter how small or difficult, is leading you closer to your goal.
Be Resilient in the Face of Failure
Bo Jackson’s career wasn’t without its setbacks. Injuries threatened to end his aspirations prematurely. Similarly, you may face moments of failure or discouragement. But these are stepping stones, not stumbling blocks.
Reflect on James 1:2-4, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” Strengthen your resilience by trusting in God’s plan, even when the path seems unclear.
Pursue Excellence Relentlessly
Bo Jackson did not achieve greatness by being average. He relentlessly pursued excellence in everything he did. The Bible encourages us in Colossians 3:23, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
Are you putting your heart and soul into your pursuits? Strive for excellence, not just to achieve your goals, but to honor God with your best efforts. Your dedication can transform your life and inspire others.
