Never give up on God’s plan: Run with purpose/to win

1st Corinthians 9:24-26 | Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.

• According to today’s reading, how does a person ‘run to win?’

• What are you already doing? 

• What do you need to start doing?
