Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. -- 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 (NKJV).
The race set before us requires discipline as well. We may not strive for gold, but we serve a purpose in our Father’s plan. Athletes continually push themselves to reach new heights and milestones. Unfortunately, many of us merely do what we have always done regarding spiritual matters. We may go to church or spend time with God yet never experience greater intimacy with the Lord or an eagerness to serve Him.
