No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. (2 Timothy 2:4-5)
Every athlete wants to win. If they do not, they might as well not be playing! Yet we do not always win on the field or on the court. However, through Jesus Christ, we know we are winners, so we always conduct ourselves in that manner.
Whether we are playing a game, working at our jobs, or simply living life within our families and associates, we do all we possibly can to be successful. We never quit, despite the circumstances or the score. We stay focused on the finish line. Our desire is to bring honor to our Lord and Savior . . . the one Who enlisted us for His team!
What about you and me? Are we focused? Are we seeking to please our fans or our God? Are we locked in to the eternal victory to which we are headed? Let's keep competing as hard as we possibly are able until He hits the buzzer and says, "Well done!"
Play to win guys!!!!!
