I
Have Fought The Good Fight,
I
Have Finished The Race,
And
I Have Remained Faithful.
Scripture
2
Timothy 4
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 described his life in 2 Timothy 2:4 in terms of a fight
and a race. Today, if we were writing, we might put it in football
terms, and say that we were in the fourth quarter and down to the
final two-minute warning!
Life
is flying by for all of us.
Can
I describe my life the way the Apostle Paul described his?
Have
I fought the good fight? Have I finished the race? Have I remained
faithful? If you were not able to say yes, then now is a very good
time to start!
Application
I
am in a race and I need to finish well.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to finish well. Don't let me mess up. Keep me away
from stupid sins that will cause me to get sidetracked and off
course. I want You to be able to say to me, “Well done my good and
faithful servant!” I pray for my friends. Help them to finish well
too! Keep them on track. Don't let them mess up.
