How to Stay the Course and Finish Well
FEBRUARY 3
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
Do you know the way to finish the course? Keep looking to Jesus.
I’ve been preaching the Gospel for over 50 years, and God knows I have my faults and sins. He also knows I repent and aim to get right with Him each and every day. I’m far from perfect, but I can testify that God has kept me on course. He has kept me preaching the Gospel.
Finishing the course God has planned for us is never easy. It takes discipline and hard work. It takes picking ourselves up, dusting ourselves off, and starting over. One of these days you are going to have to look back on your life. And I hope you will be able to say that you fought as a warrior and finished as an athlete.
“Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Keep short accounts with God. Confess quickly. Get back on the track.
