When Somebody's Worst Is Better Than Another's Best

 

In 1988, the world celebrated the record-setting Olympic performances of Carl Lewis. He became one of only four Olympic athletes to win nine gold medals. His 100-meter finish of 9.92 seconds was amazing.

And then along came Oblique Seville, who managed to beat that feat by running 100 meters in 9.91 seconds. It's just that in 2024, that was only good enough to earn him last place.

Truth is...somehow, this comparison reminds me of 1 Corinthians 1:25  -  For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
