Day 3: Running to Win

Reading: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

No athlete enters a race hoping to finish fifth. They train with discipline, sacrifice comfort, and focus on winning. Yet earthly prizes fade—trophies collect dust, medals tarnish, and accolades are forgotten. Your spiritual race offers something different: an eternal prize that never diminishes. Are you running with purpose, or just shadow boxing—swinging at nothing? Intentional living means every step counts, every decision matters, and every day brings you closer to Christ. This requires discipline: saying no to distractions, yes to spiritual growth, and surrendering your agenda for God's purpose. Don't live aimlessly, driven by feelings or circumstances. Run deliberately toward the goal of knowing Christ more deeply and making Him known more widely.
