The Race to Run

The Race to Run

“24- Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25- And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26- I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27- But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” (I Corinthians 9:24- 27)

Opposition plays a big part as you run the race for Jesus. We must expect obstacles, bad news, and odd issues in life. The road could be rough, there will be ups and down, we must expect a turnaround or detour, but we must also expect something great ahead of us. The Word of God says; “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2)
