Paul said in 1Corinthians 9:24, "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."
We need to run with faith, know that if we fall God is there to pick us up, but if we quit the race we are exceptable to fall into sin.
If you don't run, you can't win, and if you can't win, you can't get the reward promised to you. Which is a crown in heaven and that's is the best prize of all.
There is one thing better the winning a medal for a race, it is hearing God say, "Well done good and faithful servant.
While running with patience the race for the king, with obstacles taking their toll, we slow down to look up for help from our Lord: He keeps us aware of our goal. By Branon
