Do you not
know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They
then do it to receive a
perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
Making our way through a
week brings us many choices. One of
those is to select an appropriate workout program. The difference in these programs is
substantial. One may leave you refreshed
and strong while the other just wears you out.
Make your selections wisely.

Scripture to Claim:
Therefore I run in such a way, as not without
aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I discipline my body and
make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not
be disqualified. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
