Winning

I Corinthians 9:24

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run that ye may obtain.”

Have you ever been listening to your pastor preach when something stands out so vividly?

My husband was preaching last Sunday evening and asked the question, “Are we running the spiritual race to win?” I felt so ashamed and guilty. I then took an inventory of my life. I fell short. If I were playing a game, I would play to win. If I have a favorite football team, I want them to play to win. I should be running this spiritual race to win, not lose, because I would be losing for the Lord. Today may we put our all into this race and run it that we may obtain.
