"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." – 2 Timothy 4:7
Your faith is not proven by how you begin the race, but by enduring and finishing strong. Look at Paul. His Christian walk was anything but easy. But with all he endured; persecution, beatings, betrayal, testing, a thorn in his flesh and imprisonment, Paul's focus remained on Jesus Christ. And in the end, he died for Him.
Live your life as did Paul, learning to be content in all circumstances through Christ. And when you are called home, you can go knowing that you have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith!”
One of my favorite speakers at Promise Keepers Conferences is Erwin McManus. Take 2 minutes and 34 seconds, and listen to him talk about seeking God.:
Seeking and Following,
Dean
You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
