I Corinthians 9:24

Competition is a great thing as it moves people to greatness and beyond mediocrity.  The Bible is full of instances where the life of faith is likened to an athletic contest.  One of those follows.

In First Corinthians chapter 9 and verse 24 it says, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?  Run in such a way as to win the prize."  I like that!  It's said very simply, "Run in such a way as to win the prize."

Your coaching staff has outlined for you the way to win the prize today.  Your part is to run that way.  Your part is to follow their direction and to compete to the greatest extent of your ability.  Invest all that you have and all that you are in the pursuit of the team's goals. 

As you compete today, do so in such a way as to win!!!  Strive to honor Him in all that you do.
