RUN TO FINISH

“So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.”

(1 Corinthians 9:26-27)

We need to “train” and willingly submit ourselves to even more discipline than athletes, for we seek and are working towards an imperishable crown.

In the present busy world, one needs to find time to study the Word of God, time to pray, the will to obey what we find in the Word and the discipline to live a godly life.

Our time here is a period of “training” for eternity, to do God’s will; and it has value only to the extent that we give God pleasure.

ACTION:  What are you investing into that will ensure that you key into God’s plan for your life?

PRAYER: Lord, give me the wisdom and grace to be determined, dedicated and self- disciplined to achieve your goals for my life.
