GET THE PRIZE

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
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. I Corinthians 9:24,25

For the meek of the earth, it is somewhat difficult to operate in a mode of competitiveness.  Yet, it is our duty to understand that we are in a competition, a race, a war against the enemies of the cross of Christ. We must be wise as we live our lives for God's glory, and we must be fearless as we proclaim the Gospel to all of mankind.  We must get the Word out while we raise our lives up as a standard against the enemies' flood.

Today, let us work, witness, and strive for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
