Finish Well

From: Greg Laurie Ministries

2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith."

When you start a race, you don’t always think about the finish, but you should. The finish is the most important part—not the start. You can have a bad start and still finish well.

I don’t care how great of a start you had. I don’t care if you were leading the pack for nine laps out of ten. If you collapse and fall, then it doesn’t matter. You are just tired, and it all was for nothing. Finishing is everything. And Paul was talking about finishing his race well, about finishing it with joy.

You don’t know how long your life will last. That is why you want to run this race well and run it with joy. The objective is to finish. Don’t just start your race well. Finish it well. Finish it with joy.
