There are different motives for taking up spiritual responsibilities. Paul in this passage continues to explain his selfless commitment to the call of Christ to preach the Gospel. He sees preaching the Good News as a sacred trust from God for which he seeks no other payment other than the blessing of being an instrument of God for converting souls to Christ. His reward or blessing is the joy of sharing the good news with others. His hope is to win the prize. Are you also doing all that you can to win the prize that has been reserved for you? His fear is not to be disqualified. What is that which gives you joy? Do you derive joy and satisfaction from leading sinners to Christ? If not then start it now!
Prayer for the Day: Lord Jesus may you grant me the grace to live a selfless and a committed life to you now and forever.
