Scripture: 1Corinthians 9:24 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. <\/p>\n
Observation: I know I\u2019m in a race put how hard am I trying to win? Do win in a race you need to be prepared, you need to sacrifice to get in shape, you need to practice and put your whole effort into winning. In life it seems I\u2019m walking the race and periodically I sprint a little or maybe jog, but I see so many people in front of me I\u2019m sure I\u2019m not winning. <\/p>\n
Application: I need to do more running. I need to get up off the sidelines and participate with all my strength in the race God has put me in. That\u2019s right I have a sponsor and I should be wearing His name proudly on my back. Property of God is what it should say and if anyone sees me they should know who I belong to. I need to study more, pray more, serve others more and be the best I can be for God.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord I\u2019m sorry I run as if I\u2019m in the back of the pack. Energize your servant so that I may run harder and longer in your name. Help me get to the finish line that I may receive the prize that you have sent before me and that I may receive the greatest gift, an embrace from my Father knowing that you are proud of your child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
