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.
I Corinthians 9:25 NKJV
Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Apostle Paul makes an analogy of running a race to win the coveted prize/gold medal and our journey as Christians. In a typical race, the athletes prepare and make all efforts to emerge winners in their races.
Today the question is as a child of God are you running your Christian race with the ultimate crown or medal in mind? The imperishable crown of eternal life in Christ Jesus? Does this push you to live completely for Christ as if He is coming in the next moment? If Christ should come today, will you receive this imperishable prize?
May we be self disciplined in this Christian race to the very end running with spiritual vigour and stamina.
Most High God help us to live our lives completely for you. May the Imperishable Crown of eternal life in Christ Jesus be our utmost priority in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
