Finishing Strong

We are not racing in a 100 metres sprint. We are running in a marathon. God spurs us on in this arduous race.

He began a good work in us and He will bring it to completion. He ends what He begins. We are overcomers because of the blood of the Lamb.

This race is not marked by personal glory or acclaim, but one that is peppered with God's goodness and mercy. He showers us with His kindness, hope and joy unceasingly.

It is a race marked by triumph and fulfillment in God. In this race, faithful men and women of God persevere and press into the presence of God. We desire to live in the centre of His will. 

No obstacles or challenges can stop us. Nothing will set us on the quitting mode. God is in charge of our destiny. God is in complete control. He is the Waymaker.

We experience undying hope and divine grace daily. Our lives are in the hands of our loving God. 

Deep within us a fire is burning ever brighter and stronger. In the depth of our being, a cry rises up to the Lord. A cry that touches the heart of God. A cry that moved the hand of God.

We press into His presence.  We savour His goodness. We bask in His glorious presence. 

Running the race takes on a new meaning when our sole desire is to follow hard after our Maker. The lover of our soul watches over us. 

We long to see His purposes and plans unfold in our lives. We live each day to see His goodness.

Thank You for showing us Your patient love and mercy. Thank You for doing a deep and a lasting work in us. Teach us Your ways and we will follow You till the very end. Help us to finish the race. We will finish strong by Your unfailing grace and strength. We will finish by the power of Your Spirit.
