Winning the Race

“Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air.”
–1 Corinthians 9:26

Life is like a rat race – you jostle to get ahead of the pack and they say you are “really there” only if you clinch the coveted trophy, earn big bucks and socialize with the most popular and powerful people.

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” - 1 Corinthians 9:24

We run the race to get the prize. But is this the prize, or are these the prizes we are running for? No, the prize is to complete our ultimate calling in life.

True winning comes when we run with our God-given destiny blazing before us, not from blindly chasing things that do not have eternal value. Run, but with your destiny.

Now, you are ahead and the eternal prize will be yours.

赛跑大赢家

“所以，我奔跑不像无定向的；我斗拳不像打空气的。” - 歌林多前书 9:26

生命就像一场赛跑竞赛。只有当你赶在前方、赢得万众瞩目的奖杯、赚大钱、周旋于达官贵人之间，大家才认为你成功了。

“岂不知在场上赛跑的都跑、但得奖赏的只有一人? 你们也当这样跑、好叫你们得着奖赏。” - 歌林多前书 9:24

我们参加赛跑竞赛是为了得到奖赏。但我们所要的奖赏是这些名和利吗？不是的，我们所要的奖赏是完成自己生命中的真正命定。

真正的赛跑大赢家向着上帝赐予自己真正命定奔跑，而不是盲目追求没有永恒价值的东西。我们要奔跑，但是要向着真正命定而跑。

只有这样你才算赶在前方，永恒的奖赏将是属于你的。

Here's the poster - creatively designed by Esther!!

God also sent an angel to help us edit it at the very last minute when the printer found out that the resolution wasn't high enough and we didn't know what to do about it. This mystery lady worked till 4.30am to touch up the poster for us - pixel by pixel - out of her own initiative!!!

God is soooo good :)
