Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NIV

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.” 
Acts 20:24 NIV

• What did Paul say was the purpose of his race (Acts 20:24)?
• Summarize the 1Corinthians passage.
• Why do you think it is important to maintain self control as you run this race?
• What kind of race are you running?

Pray that the Holy Spirit will grow the fruit of self control in you today!  I will be praying for you!
