GO-TEAM- GO!!! We all love cheering for a famous athlete or for our favorite sports team in a competition setting, don’t we?
As Christians, though, it is even more important to dedicate any athletic activities to the Lord. Praying and reading Scripture should always be a part of all of our activities, especially if we want blessings and protection. So my top 7 Bible verses to say or read before a game or sporting event are as follows:
1. Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and steadfast; have no fear or dread of them, for it is the Lord, your God, who marches with you; he will never fail you or forsake you."
2. Psalms 37:5
"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will act."
3. Philippians 4:13
"I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me."
4. Ephesians 6:13
"Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground."
5. 2 Timothy 2:5
"Similarly, an athlete cannot receive the winner’s crown except by competing according to the rules."
6. Phillipians 3:14
"I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus."
7. Hebrews 12:1
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us."
