Verse of the Day

“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 It Means to Live with Gospel Urgency

Paul’s mindset challenges us:

• 🏁 Life isn’t about comfort—it’s about completing your God-given mission
• 🎯 Success isn’t accumulation—it’s faithful proclamation
• 💡 Your “task” is specific—how is God uniquely calling you to share His grace?

This changes your perspective on:

• Time ⏳ → “How can I leverage today for eternity?”
• Relationships 💞 → “Who needs to hear hope?”
• Struggles 💪 → “How does this refine me for greater impact?”

How to Run Your Race Well

1️⃣ Clarify Your Calling

• Ask: “What’s my unique role in God’s story?” (Not comparison—obedience!)

2️⃣ Eliminate Distractions

• Say no to good things to say yes to the best

3️⃣ Sprint Toward the Finish

• Live so that one day you’ll hear: “Well done, good and faithful servant!” (Matthew 25:23)

Prayer of Relentless Focus
Lord Jesus,
I don’t want to reach the end with regrets.

• Strip away my obsession with temporary things
• Ignite in me a passion for the lost
• Show me today who needs Your grace

Let my life:
📢 Speak of Your mercy
❤️ Demonstrate Your love
✝️ Point clearly to Your cross

In Your name, Amen.
