Scripture: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27 ESV)
Observation: We are all striving towards something...it is either Eternal (God) or perishable (of this world).
Application: strengthen the body through discipline and obedience. Practicing control over the physical body strengthens our spiritual selves.
Prayer: Daddy, grant me discipline and understanding. Teach my heart and let what I learn from You be spoken to others so that they may know who You are, and all that you are. Amen!
