Keep running(huff,puff,huff)....Still Don't give up (continue from yesterday)

Why don't we give up?......
THE PRIZE!!
Philippians 3:14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of GOD in CHRIST JESUS.

The christian life was never promised to us to be a smooth road to run on(easy way to live). We got to have a purpose and a plan because times will be difficult and Satan will try to trip us on our run. But we never persevere without the promise of a prize.....a promise GOD will keep.

We need a Purpose:
Run your race to win, Keep your eyes on the goal, Don't get discouraged and give up, Tell others about the LORD, Hold on to your faith.

We need a Plan:
Get rid of anything that is harmful to you, Discipline your body training it, Forget your past and look forward, Don't get into worldly things, Follow the LORD's "rules" like an athlete would his coaches, Work hard praying and studying GOD's word.

Now, the Prize we will receive:
A Heavenly reward, Everlasting life, Standing firm against Satan,
 Heavenly prize/rewards to lay at JESUS feet,
 I would think it would be kinda sad not to have a reward/prize to give back to JESUS.

 LORD, I pray for your guidance that I will live a life pleasing to you, never giving up on my race. So I can earn rewards/prizes not for me but that I will be able to lay them at your feet and give you all praise and glory you deserve. I love you Father. Amen

The LORD always remains faithful to us and always carries out his promise. He is the best "coach" to have help you train/live a christian life for him.

We will live with CHRIST; We will sit and rule with him.

2Timothy 4:7-8
7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course(race), I have kept the faith:
8there is laid up for me a crown(prize/reward) of righteousness, which the LORD, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

In His Name
GOD bless you and yours.....
