d. notice in verse 31b “put me to shame”
8. “by seriously purposing to obey” [32] “I will run the way of thy commandments”
a. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 2 Tim 4:7-8
b. Paul was not afraid to run this course We should not fear it as well.
c. It is the fear of failing the course that becomes Satan’s tool
