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 9:25 #coptorthodox @coptorthodox #copticorthodox #bibleverse #bible #dailybibleverse #bibleversedaily #dailyverse #coptic #orthodox #strive #striveforyoursalvation #striveforyoureternallife #1corinthians #1corinthians9 #1corinthians9v25 #imperishablecrown https://www.instagram.com/p/B83OaJwp6GN/?igshid=45d3ah20bmoi

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more. 1 Corinthians 9:19 #coptorthodox @coptorthodox #copticorthodox #bibleverse #bible #dailybibleverse #bibleversedaily #dailyverse #coptic #orthodox #servinggod #1corinthians #1corinthians9 #1corinthians9v19 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzIORa0pWQn/?igshid=6sbfcwlkytmx

The Need for Self-Discipline 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. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.  Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24 - 27 #1Corinthians9 #1Corinthians924 #bestrunners #runnersworld #parkrun #winners #stricttraining #Olympicrunning #Olympicrunners #runningaimlessly #qualifiedfortheprize #disqualifiedfortheprize #selfdiscipline #runtowintheprize #worldbestrunners #qualifiedrunners #gettheprize #goldmedal #goldmedalist #goldmedalists Photo by Alexander Redl @alexanderredl

[Eternal prize.]. (n.d.). Retrieved July 23, 2016, from https://www.pinterest.com/pin/388224430354887064/

This week, I decided to focus on what I can do now and not what I can’t do now. I decided to become more disciplined in my journey. I choose to rely on the tools that God has already stored in me and be confident in utilizing those tools. A lot of times I could come up with an idea or an event derived from God. The longer I sat on that idea or event, the chances of me putting them into action became shorter. And when I let those chances shorten, someone else picked up that same idea and put it into action. From now on, I choose to discipline myself in this journey and remember my purpose in each step that I take so I do not begin to lose motivation. The eternal prize in the end will not be just a successful business, it will be a successful business that will benefit the lives of everyone in that community.

Day Eleven

Giving, the focus of our small group discussion today. 

What motivates me to give. What demotivates me. Am I serving God, men, or myself? Is it out of guilt or relationships? 

Today was a reminder that I do not own any of these things I have. I take them all for granted and forget it is a loving God who provides abundantly. It's not for me to keep, nor for me to decide how much I really need to live a 'comfortable' life. 

Whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly, in blessings, joy, or peace. Let us give generously because we love God and believe in His mission, not man's. That's it.
