Day 316 – Fight the Good Fight and Finish the Race with even Greater Faith.
Today’s Reading: 2 Timothy 3 – Titus 1
2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
Some days are hard as soon as I turn over in my bed and slip my feet out of the covers. It’s as though the war begins, not a real war of course but a spiritual one, that actually may be even more difficult. And while this war is going on you’re still running the marathon of life and just trying to make it to the end.
Do you ever feel this way? Do you ever start the day just waiting for it to end? Or maybe you are hoping today was just a dream and you’re waiting to wake up from it?
I’ve felt this way one too many times. Thankfully, on these days I put all my dependence on God to get me through and my faith grows by leaps and bounds.
The fight and the race can be draining, and when you hit mile 20 in the marathon you might be ready to give up but you fight on. When you finally finish the race and experience the joy you’ve been hoping for. You have fought a hard fight and amid all the trials you have the kept the faith. And the greatest reward of all was all those people seeing you fight and run with a strength that can only be from the Lord. They have witnessed your faith and your behavior and they believe. So don’t give up, no matter what comes your way. Keep running on, finishing the race strong and keeping your Faith even stronger.
