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. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly. I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Everyone is after something, what are you chasing? Life is a race, short but important. It is important to understand that one way or another you will receive a prize, the only difference in the prize is one of them you earned and the other you did not. What prize do you want? This is the question we all must ask ourselves today.
Jesus has provided us with the prize of eternal life that we cannot and will not earn. We need to train ourselves to be Godly, so when the race has ended we are standing in victory lane being crowned by our father Jesus Christ.
It is time that we start training ourselves to be Godly men, we need to stand up and tell people about the prize of salvation that cannot be earned. Do not run aimlessly because this will earn you the prize we all deserve. Live your life for Christ and train yourself to do so. It all starts will prayer and reading your Bible. God loves you, love him back!
Dare to be different, dare to be uncommon, dare to be Godly.
