Run to win!

Encouragement for the week ahead.

“Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NLT)

Don’t forget to spend time in God’s Word and prayer daily. Start your day with Him making sure not to give Him the leftovers of your time, but the first and foremost of your time. Be an example of Christ to those you come into contact with. Place the kingdom of God first, and run like you’re committed to win!
