This entry is part [part not set] of 2576 in the series Daily Words for the Christian Life
Holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.
—Philippians 2:16
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 3:14
If two words mark Paul’s life, they are “run” and “toil.” Paul lived like an athlete pressing “toward the goal for the prize” (Phil. 3:14).
Adapted from Philippians: That I May Gain Christ,
by Titus Chu; page 133.
Tomorrow: “Running for the Prize” (2)
