Run the race to win

by on Dec.16, 2010, under Devotions

Beloved,

I received this devotional this morning and found it to be a blessing. I share it with you in hopes you will be blessed as well.

1 Corinthians 9:24Open Link in New Window 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.

Men of Character

No one runs in a race because they simply needed a different way to spend the day. They run with winning in mind. Winning is a mindset that has to be practiced or it will never be achieved. In training, it is the small wins that help to lead to the big wins. Get a man in a winning mode and it will become part of his game. If a runner does not train to win then distractions will be the winner. The Apostle Paul wants the Christian to get in the race to win, not just to run. To get the prize as a Christian is to become more like Christ and less like you. Anything that distracts you from Him causes you to run a losing race.
