24 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 25 All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

Stay focused on Jesus. Faith involves discipline. It is a choice to make your body fall in line with the word of God. It is a choice to discipline yourself to actively pursue a relationship with Jesus daily. It is a choice to believe that what God's word says is more true than the caos that surrounds your daily life and to believe that God is taking care of you. We run with purpose in every step... I love that image. Just like the athletes that train for the olympics have purpose in everything they do. We run to win an eternal prize... It is so worth it!! Keep on running my friends... run to win!

I looked up a shadowboxing video because I didn't know what it was. It looked rather funny to me, boxing no one, and I suppose that shows the whole pointlessness of us trying to be Christians but not giving our all. We need to keep our guard up and stay in the Word. :)
