This is the time of the race season when teams find the real personality of their team. What began as a season of hope and high expectations may have turned south and dreams vanished as cars crashed, transmissions failed, engines were blown and sponsorship dollars faded. Others have exceeded their wildest dreams as the breaks all seem to have fallen their way. Whether they stumbled on a set up that works, their fastest laps at the right times, no equipment failure, or even the draw for the inverts for their starting positions, it all has fallen their way.
In order to have a successful season two words come to mind: Commitment, and Control. Some teams seemed to ‘mail it in’ and are just playing out the season. Still others have the attitude that says ‘We Won’t Wuit no matter what.’ A long time ago I learned that quitters can never win, and winners will never quit-even though the cost of continuing many times exceeds the perceived value of the prize. Quitting is never an option for those whose goal is to succeed in every area of life.
When God created this world He made a commitment. He will never give up on His creation, even when all around Him, people would quit on Him, ignore Him, betray Him and seek to destroy Him. His Love always endures. He never gives up, and never stops loving His creation, and that includes racers, teams, officials – in other words, all of us. God wants us to ‘keep on keeping on’, or in the words of St. Paul, “be not weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap” – If we don’t quit!
The other word is Control. The teams that are succeeding are those that never seem to be out of control. When it’s not right they take control and try to fix it. When tempers flare, and anger boils to the top, they don’t react, and when they perceive that they have been used, abused or wrecked they maintain conrol.
Throughout the scripture God uses ‘self-control’ as a measuring stick to determine leadership abilities, and requires that this be part of the life of those He uses.
These two words Commitment, and Control should become a part of all of our lives. God has committed Himself to us, and wants us to yield our life Control to Him.
