2 Timothy 4:6-7
6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. 7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Now there is in store 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 longed for his appearing.
Do you ever get bogged down, overwhelmed, distracted, or just tired? Yeah we have all been there. When we get to that point we want to quite, or slow down. We start feeling sorry for ourselves. I wonder how Paul felt writing this letter to Timothy. Paul is saying here Timothy don't give up. Stay focused. Things are going to fly at you that are tough. Don't slow down. I want to be like Paul. I want to be able to say that I have fought the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith. Instead of focusing on our problems around us when need to look to God.
Where are you at? Are you pushing hard, keeping the faith, trying to finish the race?
