The Prize of Our Race

Hey family, let’s talk about the prize! Paul reminds us that athletes compete for a perishable crown, but we aim for an imperishable one. Our prize is eternal life with Jesus, and that's worth every effort we make.

James 1:12 says, "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him." This verse reassures us that our perseverance will be rewarded with a crown that never fades.

Our race is not in vain. Every sacrifice, every trial, and every moment of perseverance brings us closer to our eternal prize. This promise of an imperishable crown motivates us to keep going, no matter how tough the journey gets. We are running for a reward that surpasses anything this world can offer.

Reflect on the eternal prize awaiting you. When you face challenges, remind yourself of the crown of life promised by God. Keep this promise in your heart as motivation to stay steadfast in your race.
