Don't Drop the Baton
In the 1988 Olympics, the world assumed that the United States would be victorious in the 400-meter relay. They simply were the best. The gun cracked and they were off and running. After the last curve the unthinkable happened.
The United States was ahead by 10 meters with no real competition in sight. And then, with victory in their grasp, it happened. They dropped the baton. The thousands in the stands gasped in disbelief.
The United States team--sleek, muscular, and fast as leopards, lost the race. Why? Someone dropped the baton. [King Duncan, Collected Sermons, www.Sermons.com Fear]
Today we are the baton of discipleship, don’t drop the baton, hand on the faith.
May God Be Praised.
