This entry is part [part not set] of 3099 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
As athletes run a race, they forget everything around them and focus only on the goal, for everything is geared to winning. In the Christian race, we cannot allow anything to hinder us. We must avoid distractions, for our desire is to gain the top blessing—Christ Himself.
Adapted from Philippians: That I May Gain Christ,
by Titus Chu; page 133.
Monday: “Running for the Prize” (3)
