However, this drive often misdirects us from God's glory. Christianity transforms this instinct, urging us to glorify God in all we do, from athletic feats to daily tasks. The Olympic spotlight will fade, but pursuing God's glory resonates eternally. Athletes get praise now, but we worship Jesus forever.
