1 Corinthians 9:24 (NKJV) 24 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.
Do we receive our diploma if we drop out of school and never take the final exam? If we are in a race and we give up before we reach the finish line, do we still receive a medal? Of course not.
We must always finish what we start and give it our all, or there is no prize and no reward.
Some people think that they can go on this journey with Christ and when things get hard, temptation comes, tiredness sets in, boredom or whatever else may try to come, they can just back out.
That is not how we obtain the prize.
We run in this race with all that we have and if what we have isn’t enough, we ask Him to help us with the rest.
There is no giving up or pulling out. If we want to obtain our prize, we have to hang in there and push through. We are in it for the long haul.
We will reach the finish line if we don’t give up! Amen.
