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.
1 Corinthians 9:24-26
God has a purpose for each day of our lives. But if we have fallen out of shape we might not recognize that purpose, or be up to the challenge. Runners condition their bodies by exercise, diet, rest, and training so that they can run the distance. Likewise, we need to condition ourselves for our daily “race” for God’s glory. We exercise our spiritual muscles through prayer. Feed our souls with a steady diet of God’s Word. Rest in His truth, and train ourselves to look for opportunities to share His love with those around us. Run for the prize!
