Run to Obtain a Prize
1 Corinthians 9:24

  

24: Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?   So run, that ye may obtain.

If you are running and competing in a race and want to win the race, you will do certain things to try and be the best.  You’ll practice and practice hard.   You will push your body to the limit in order to learn to be better.

In the same way, your Christian walk should not be something you’re haphazard about.   You should be serious and do what you have to do to be as close to the Lord as you can.  Study the Word, spend time in prayer and be diligent in your efforts.

If you want to win the prize you need to do what you have to in order to be successful in your Christian life.

 

Confession:

I will run the race in such a way to obtain the prize.  I will put diligent effort into my relationship and walk with the Lord.

Obedience is a tree of life!
