The Race of Your Life

The eternal prize awaits the winners of the race. This race, in keeping up with life and its ups and downs, becomes rough at times. While we run this race we run to win, and to finish our course in life still standing and not beat down and pitiful looking. Training is necessary to win your race. Preparation is key to winning any competition. This life competition is basically between you and the evil in this world. How well we can live above the evil in this world is dependent upon the hand of God being on our lives. Athletes train, and train rigorously to be in perfect shape for the race. The race of life needs the same drive and persistence when it comes to getting ready. Being able to rightly divide the word of God to apply it during unexpected obstacles is our portion as Christians. We must fight the good fight of faith to win this race physically and spiritually (1 Timothy 6:12). Eternal life is the prize at hand. We are more than able through Christ who strengthens us. Your race is your own. Only you can win and receive the prize that is for you, and you alone. Run, fight, and win to get what’s yours.
