At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Derek Redmond tore his hamstring in the 400 meters semi-final but continued the race limping and, with assistance from his father, managed to complete a full lap of the track as the crowd gave him a standing ovation. Although Redmond was disqualified and listed as “Did Not Finish” due to the outside assistance in finishing the race, the incident has become a well-remembered moment in Olympic history.

There are times when Christians stumble and fall, not physically of course, but spiritually. There are times when we need help.

Thankfully, our Father sees us in time of need. “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.” Isaiah 40:29.
