There
are those who are convinced they have run their course just before the final
leg. A good start and a strong race doesn’t matter in the end, it is only the
finish that truly matters. The Apostle Paul’s words ring as powerfully today as
they did two millennia ago, “I fought a good fight, I kept the faith!” Keeping
the faith in spite of what appears as certain defeat is the pathway to the
supernatural. Finishers are overcomers. Lord Above, You open the windows of
heaven to those who do not quit. My passionate aim is to fight the good fight
and finish the race till at last I fall into Your Arms.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
