Why Do You Run?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know they are running the race to obtain the prize.
Serious athletic competitors are dedicated to training. Famous and not so well known athletes report spending long hours to prefect their skills.
Believers and followers of Jesus should train hard. Yet, some believers take life causally. This type neglects focusing on the end goal.
Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 provides encouragement for anyone running life’s race.
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.”
Prepare in such a way as to win the race. Run. Persist. Obtain the crown that will last forever.
