Run Your Race

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.
1 Corinthians 9:24, NKJV

TODAY'S WORD:

So many people today spend valuable time and energy trying to make everyone around them happy. They want to be approved, accepted and affirmed. There�s nothing wrong with that, but you can�t let the opinions of others become your focus or distract you from what God has called you to. 

In the natural, when a professional runner races, you don�t see them looking around at the other runners, wondering how they are doing. No, they have their mind focused on one thing: the finish line. They don�t waste valuable energy comparing themselves or wondering what�s going on around them. Instead, they focus on winning the prize. This is how we should be in life�focused on winning the prize of the victor�s crown in life.

My challenge to you today is: run your race. Don�t let people squeeze you into their mold. Remember, you don�t have to try to play up to people. You don�t have to worry about what everyone else thinks. As long as you�re being true to what God has put in your heart, don�t look to the left or to the right. Stay focused on your goals. Run your race to win and honor God in everything that you do!
