We need to discipline ourselves to run the race with endurance. This means disciplining ourselves to start each day in prayer and in God’s Word; to stay in fellowship with other Christians; to share the Gospel with the lost; and to love God and one another. We are not running in the race for a vain, earthly crown – but for an eternal reward, one that will not perish or burn up. Our commitment to the Lord needs to be strong and out of love. We cannot stay on the course and obtain eternal rewards if we are living a life of compromise. Our Christian walk requires commitment!

It is time to wake up to reality. God is on the throne, heaven is real, and hell is real. In what areas does your life need more discipline?
