Run to Win1 Corinthians 9:24
No. 340Do 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.1 Corinthians 9:24
Paul doesn't say run so you don't embarrass yourself. He says run to win. The Christian life calls for the full exertion of a prize-seeking racer — not casual participation. Intentionality, discipline, sacrifice. Run to win.
Reflect
Are you running to participate or to win? What would a more intentional, prize-focused approach to your faith look like?
Prayer
Lord, I run to win. Give me the discipline and intentionality of someone who is actually going for the prize. Amen.
