Running to win
“Do you not know that those who run a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.” – 1 CORINTHIANS 9:24
Paul was all about running to win. He often compared the Christian life to running a race, and throughout the New Testament we read how he was willing to discipline himself and press on toward the prize.
God has put a race before us, too, and He expects us to run to win. It will take discipline and “pressing on.”
Are you willing to be “all in” and run your race to count for Christ? If so, you have a prize waiting for you at the finish line – the words of Christ Himself: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
