Run the race baby!!!


This has always been a foundational verse for me. 

1 Corinthians 9:24(NKJV)
24Do 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. 

I think it is a great answer to those in society today who think that competition is bad and that we should reward all of our kids with trophies and ribbons just for competing.  That we should keep score when the kids are playing soccer, basketball, etc. 

Seems to me that Scripture takes a different view. 

In addition I just think it is a great life verse in the general sense of it telling us to do our very best at everything that we do.  In other words be a winner in life!
