I Corinthians 1:25

As athletes we are often looking for an edge over our opponents, something that will provide an advantage and lead to a win.  Sometimes we think that comes by being smarter and other times we think that being stronger will lead to victory.  The Bible points to a person who overcomes both great human wisdom and the power of physical strength.

In Paul's first letter to his friends at Corinth at chapter 1 and verse 25 he says, "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength."  There is more to strength than what can be measured in the weight room, more to quickness than can be measured with a stop watch.  There's more to wisdom than what can be attributed to a degree or a g.p.a.

There is strength and wisdom available to us that comes from a whole other dimension, because it's the strength and wisdom that comes from God.  Live in that dimension today.
Ask the Lord to fill you with His wisdom, the ability to know the right thing to do.  Ask Him to fill you with His strength, the power to carry out what is best. 

Play with great passion and enthusiasm.  Use the Lord's wisdom and strength to achieve excellence on the field of competition.
