I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.

2 Timothy 4:7 NLT Bible

So many times, people give up before completing something. It could be a project at work, a chore at home, an assignment or a competitive event. As children of God, we are called to finish the race that He has set before us, just as Paul did. He endured all kinds of hardships and suffering, but he kept the faith, persevered to the very end and fought a good fight. This should be the prayer of our hearts, to be faithful to Almighty God until our life on earth is ended. Life as a believer is a struggle, because we are constantly bombarded with problems and temptations, but we have to determine in our hearts to run the race that is set before us with perseverance and purpose, regardless of our circumstances.

There's no greater honour than being able to feel like Paul did at the end of his life. He was confident that he had served God faithfully, shared the gospel with others and finished his race. God has given us this one life to live on earth and we must run this race with discipline, purpose and endurance, standing up for truth, integrity and righteousness. Our reward for being faithful and completing our race is spending eternity with our Saviour. This is the greatest reward for the child of God.

Thank you, Lord for Your promise of eternal life. Help me to fight the good fight, to never give up, to finish the race set before me and to remain faithful, come what may. Let my life be pleasing to you, Lord. I love you! Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
