Getting our second wind

Well, we are going down the home stretch on our church relocation.

It's time for that last "kick" (as runners get when they are near the end of a race) that will propel us past the finish line.

A kick is a technical runner's term that means that when runners get to the last one hundred yards or so, they can still sprint. No matter how much the runner has run, he can sprint to that last leg to the finish line and win the race.

I'm thankful that we have a group of people at our church who are ready and willing to provide that "kick", that "second wind".

"Help us Lord, give us the strength we need to finish this "race"!"

Here's what I know: No matter what your circumstance, God wants you to finish strong. He wants you to have a kick.

Philippians 1:6 doesn't say, "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day you fail and flop on the track."

It says, "he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

Hang in there! Don't give up! Let the Holy Spirit provide you with the "kick" that you need this day.
