1 Corinthians 9:25-27
25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27 No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
Discipline. Discipline. Discipline. If competing in the games is your life’s ambition, you will discipline yourself to succeed. What is my life’s ambition? What am I willing to discipline myself to accomplish?
