I
Have Fought The Good Fight,
I
Have Finished The Race,
And
I Have Remained Faithful
Scripture
2
Timothy 4
6 As for me, my
life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of
my death is near.
8
And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And
the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to
his appearing.
Observation
The
Apostle Paul is looking back on his life. He knows that he is close
to the end of his life and he is looking forward to what lies ahead!
How about you? Are you afraid to die? Here is what I am afraid of and
it is not dying; it is not being able to say, “I fought the good
fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.”
I
don't know about you, but I want to finish well!
Application
I
look forward to the prize that awaits me – the crown of
righteousness! How about you? Lets finish well!
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You know that I am not afraid to die. I have been there and
done that. I am afraid of not finishing well. I want You to be able
to say to me, “well done my good and faithful servant.” So help
me to live my life in a way that makes You smile. I pray for those
who are sick. Give them strength. Give them courage. I pray that You
heal them. Show them that they can trust in You.
