finishing strong part 2

Let's piggyback on what I mentioned yesterday, it's not how you start that counts, it is how you finish.

A lot of people start strong - very few finish strong. The Apostle Paul was a finisher. Peter was a finisher. Joshua was a finisher.

God's desire for us in this relocation process is that we finish strong.

When Ralph Houk was manager of the New York Yankees, baseball schedules were even more exacting than they are now, with double-headers almost every week. Occasionally a player would get sick of the grind and approach Houk, asking for permission to sit out a game.

“I know how you feel,” the manager would say genially. “Sure, take the day off, But do me a favor. You’re in the starting lineup. Just play one inning. Then skip the rest of the game.”

The player would honor Houk’s request—and almost invariably get caught up in the spirit of the game and play it out to the end.

Sometimes we’re going to get tired of the grind...feel like giving up.....feel like giving in....but we must stay the path until the end.

God blesses faithfulness!

Compromise leads to chaos....distractions often lead to destruction...but faithfulness leads to fulfillment.

Let's all continue to be faithful!
