What Prize Are You After?

"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown." ~ 1 Corinthians 9:24-25

What prize are you after?

Are you after the things of this world - things that are temporal, tangible, and fleeting? Or are you after the things of God - things that are invisible, intangible, and eternal?

There's a prize for everyone. But one leads to death, while the other leads to eternal life.

Which one will you choose today?

God bless,

God's Hands

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

Often, when we have tough decisions to make, we choose our own path.

Sometimes, we weigh the pros and cons and choose based on what's most advantageous to our current situation.

Other times, we seek the advice of our friends and family and choose based on what someone else tells us is most advantageous to us.

And still, other times, we become so paralyzed with fear that we end up making no decision at all.

But, what if, instead, we actually trusted God?

What if we actually gave our circumstances to Him?

What if we actually put it in His hands?

Might our lives be easier? Might our paths be straighter?

Might we realize that His way is better than ours?

God bless,

J.W.
