Lessons from the locker room. Let’s bring them together: If you are going to compete in the race of life, run to win. And that means committing yourself to a life of discipline. It means seeking to be all God has created you to be. It means knowing where you are going — focusing in on the tasks at hand. It means avoiding distractions. It means getting rid of any sin in your life that may serve as a hindrance. And it means running your race with the anticipation that you’re not headed down a dead end street. You’re running to cross God’s finish line. Keep these rules in mind and you will finish a winner in everything you do.
