How Will You Finish? |
THE SCRIPTURE |
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” |
(2 Timothy 4:7, NIV) |
THE WORD |
So often when people make mistakes, they get down on
themselves and think, “If only...” “I should have...” “What if...?” It’s
easy to feel like you’ve missed the best plan for your life. That’s
when people get discouraged and stop pursuing their God-given dreams.
But understand today, just because you’ve made a mistake or failed in
some way doesn’t cancel God’s plan. God never disqualifies you. He never
says, “Go sit on the sidelines. You’ve blown it too many times. You’ve
got too many weaknesses.” No, God always gives you another chance!
Some of the great people in the Bible made very poor
choices. The apostle Paul started off as a murderer, yet his destiny was
bigger than his mistakes. He ended up becoming a great leader and
writing over half of the New Testament.
What am I saying? Our mistakes, our failures, our poor
choices don’t have to keep us from our God-given destiny. With God,
it’s not about the way you start in life, it’s about the way you finish.
Receive His grace today and embrace the bright future He has in store
for you!
