Day 3: Embrace Disciplines
>> Sunday, October 11, 2009
I keep under my body,
and bring it into subjection;
lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others,
I myself should be a castaway.
I Corinthians 9:27

I Corinthians 9:27
A price has to be paid for success. Almost invariably those who have reached the summits worked harder and longer, studied and planned more assiduously, practiced more self-denial, overcame more difficulties than those of us who have not risen so far.

Emily, sorry for misunderstanding about the PSALM 1:1-3. I am not used to how blogs work. No harm done as those are great encouraging verses. I memorized the 5 verses from the past 3 days and want to write them from memory here in the NIV which I use. Hopefully no mistakes :)
1 CORINTHIANS 2:9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.
ROMANS 5:21 So that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace reigned through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I had to peek once and forgot the part "to bring eternal life" so I guess I don't have this one down as well as I thought I did.
ROMANS 6:14 For sin shall not be your master because you are not under law but under grace.
1 CORINTHIANS 9:27 No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
You listed the reference for 1 CORINTHIANS 8:13 with the verse above so I memorized that too.
1 CORINTHIANS 8:13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall.
(I had to peak on that one too.)
I hope everyone has a great week meditating on these and future verses Emily picks out for us.
Wow, great job! I apologize for the wrong reference for 1 Corinthians 9:27, but at least 1 Corinthians 8:13 is also one of the ones we'll be memorizing! :)
Also, I laughed as I realized that I actually *did* have a portion of Psalm 1 on the sheet to share, I just didn't realize it. So you're a step ahead!
Keep up the good work!
