Oh To Be Wise Meditations

Glorify God no matter what. Just as many runners enter a race, and only one of them wins the prize. So we must run to win in this race we call life! Athletes work hard by submitting themselves to strict discipline, striving to win a crown that cannot last. We strive for victorious living because of the eternal prize offered by God in Christ. Therefore, we should run in such a way, as not without aim or purpose. Yes, fighting the good fight of faith by not flailing our hopes in the air by casting doubt. But actually pray in the Spirit to energize your faith and trust in God. Lets keep our bodies under control of Holy Spirit and allow him to make it a slave towards righteousness.

This so we won't lose out after telling the good news to others. Test yourselves and find out if you really are true to your faith. If you pass the test, you will discover that Christ is living in you. But if Christ isn't living in you, you have failed. I pray to God that you do nothing wrong, not that I may appear to have passed the test, but that you may do what is right, even though I have failed many times. I am still victorious because Christ has picked me up every time, bringing me to peace and safety forevermore. Lamentations 3:40
