New Testament:  1 Corinthians 9Psalm: Psalm 128Encouraging Story: How God Gave Spirit-Filled Olympian Chaunte Lowe a Vision for RioHymn for the Day: Fight the good fight with all thy might  Author: John S. B. Monsell (1863) 
1 Fight the good fight with all thy might. Christ is thy strength and Christ thy right. Lay hold on life, and it shall be thy joy and crown eternally. 
2 Run the straight race through God's good grace; lift up thine eyes, and seek Christ's face. Life with its way before us lies; Christ is the path, and Christ the prize. 
3 Cast care aside; lean on thy guide. God's boundless mercy will provide. Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove Christ is its life, and Christ its love. 
4 Faint not nor fear: God's arms are near. God changeth not, and thou art dear. Only believe, and thou shalt see that Christ is all in all to thee.
