"For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. In the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing." -II Timothy 4:6-8 (NASB)
Sometimes we have bad days when things don't go as planned. Things may seem more difficult than necessary. It might feel that we are fighting to survive. In all things, even when it seems we are running an unending race, we should have faith and should strive to fight the good fight and to finish the course.
With faith in God, He can help us make it through to the end. Once we reach the end, what glory and righteousness He will bestow on each of us! Our award for persevering here on Earth awaits in Heaven. Heaven holds more goodness and glory than we could ever imagine!
From now until God says our fight is finished, let us each live in faith, pouring ourselves out for the glory of God. If we love Jesus, have patience to persevere in our works for Him, and be willing to wait with faith in Him, we will receive our crowns of righteousness! The best is yet to come!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Jesus to die for my sins so that I can be forgiven. Help me to fight the good fight and to finish the course for Your glory. Strengthen me so that I am able to persevere and not tire. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
