RULES OF COMPETITION

 
2 Timothy 2:5
 
"An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules." ESV 
 
Living the Christian life is much like the life of an athlete. There are certain things required of an athlete who expects to finish first in competition. If these requirements are followed half heartedly, skipped, side stepped, or ignored, there will be no prize. There will be disqualification. The same is true for a Christian. The world may be foolish, and a person can fool himself, but when the real test comes, the winner will be the one who did things God's way.
 
Lord, we need Your help to live our lives according to the Way You have set before us. Forgive us for being lax, taking shortcuts, or simply doing things our own way. Give us hearts of obedience and fervor to do things according to Your will for us. In Your great name we pray, Amen.

RUNNING THE RIGHT WAY

 
2 Timothy 2:5
 
"An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules." ESV 
 
If we try to win a game by bypassing the rules, cheating so to speak, we are never winners. Even Christians try to use their own set of rules and beliefs to win the crown of life. There is no compromise in the ultimate race to eternal life. There is only One Way.
 
Lord, forgive us for trying to live by rules we have been taught or have adopted as our own that are not the ones You have spoken to us in Your Word. Give us discernment so that we will not be led off onto another path. We desire to hear Your voice and Your voice only. In Your name we pray, Amen.
