Run Your Race With Purpose – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional April 24th

(Stay Focused On God’s Calling On Your Life)

TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 5:10
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.”

LET’S TALK
As we prepare for the coming of the Lord, it’s important to check in with ourselves from time to time—are we staying focused on what God has called us to do?

Each of us has a unique purpose in Christ, and one day, we’ll stand before Him to give an account of how we lived our lives on earth. Those who have done well will receive praise of Him; they’ll be rewarded.

The Apostle Paul reminds us of this in 1 Corinthians 9:24 KJV: “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!”

The Amplified Classic version puts it this way: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but [only] one receives the prize? So run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours.”

Life is like a race, and we’re meant to run it with purpose. Don’t just go through the motions—live intentionally, knowing that every step you take matters. Run with determination. Run with the mindset of victory.

Paul himself set this example, remember part of his valedictory admonition in 2 Timothy 4:5 KJV; he said, “…Watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”

Paul could say this with confidence because he lived it out. He stayed focused, completed his mission, and at the end of his journey he gloriously testified: “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” (2 Timothy 4:6-8 KJV).

Your life isn’t random— you’re on a journey with a profound purpose. Keep this truth constantly before you and, it’ll serve as a guiding light in the way you live your life. Hallelujah!
