Lenten Devotional - Day 21

1 Corinthians 9:16-27

"Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it."

It is never a bad thing to strive for excellence. Having a desire to do the very best at whatever task is at hand is very often our natural human inclination. We enjoy being successful; it is exciting to experience the thrill of "winning." The same standard should hold true for our faith. Just as we practice and perfect our various gifts and talents, so too should we work on our faith as a means to run in such a way that we may "win." 

How might you "win" in your faith? 

Our legs are moving, our lungs are pumping, and our hearts are beating. We are faithfully racing to win in our faith. Amen.
