TODAY'S RHEMA 1 Chronicles 25:7 So the number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the Lord, all who were skillful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.
Michael Phelps was known as a great and successful American ex-swimmer as well as the most decorated Olympics athlete. In 2009, he won 23 gold medals and broke the world record in 200 meters butterfly. Surprisingly, when he was little, this great man had a phobia for sinking his face into the water. At the same time, he had a dream to become a winner in swimming competition. Then he went for strict training to become a great swimmer. In his training sessions, Phelps swam a minimum of 80,000 meters, and roughly about 5-6 hours a day.
What Michael Phelps did in giving his best with his talent is a perfect portrayal of what God did when he created the world. God worked with an excellent spirit that makes his creatures the most beautiful work of art. Phelps' success and the wonder of His work did not come as a coincidence or reckless work. Phelps trained very hard every day to brush up his speed. Just as God, who designed each of the creatures according to his plan from the very first day to the sixth, then He could say about His work, "It's all so good."
Therefore, whatever field you are in, you have to learn from God who worked with an excellent spirit. Whether you are a student, doctor, housewife, chief director, retired, or clerk, carry out your responsibility with an excellent spirit and wholeheartedly.
