"I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or
that I have already reached perfection.
But I press on to possess that perfection
for which Christ Jesus first possessed me."

Numbers 13:30 (KJV)
"David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear,
and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of Heaven’s
Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. Today the
LORD will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And
then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild
animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel!
And everyone assembled here will know that the LORD rescues his people,
but not with sword and spear. This is the LORD’s battle, and he will
give you to us!” As Goliath moved closer to attack, David quickly ran
out to meet him. Reaching into his shepherd’s bag and taking out a
stone, he hurled it with his sling and hit the Philistine in the
forehead. The stone sank in, and Goliath stumbled and fell face down on
the ground. So David triumphed over the Philistine with only a sling
and a stone, for he had no sword. Then David ran over and pulled
Goliath’s sword from its sheath. David used it to kill him and cut off
his head."

"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily
ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before
us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for
the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV)
"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one
receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And
everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they
do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown"
1 Corinthians 9:24-25 (NKJV)
"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession
in the presence of many witnesses."
