"Run in such a way as to get the prize." 1 Corinthians

9:24-27
"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."


Our crown will last forever.
Continuing the race eliminates the possibility of disqualification.
So much of the time I feel as though I labor in vain. This passage brings me peace.
I pray that it does the same for you.
Glory to God.
