What a powerful proclamation from the Apostle Paul. I want to simply encourage you to continue fighting the good fight and to continue on the course that the Lord has laid out for you. I implore you to continue to fight! I want to encourage you to finish the course and keep the faith until the end. Run through the tape at the finish line. Don't pull up short! Don't veer off the path! Don't give up! Don't give in! Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might and strength.
The life you live in Christ Jesus will be a marker for all those around you. It will show where you stand. It will announce what you believe and it will define whom you belong to. The faith you exhibit will be a testimony and a stepping stone for those who will be coming up behind you. Each day is an opportunity to bring glory to God. Cease the day! Be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18) while desiring the sincere milk of the word (I Peter 2:2) and seek those things which are above (Colossians 3:1-2.)
Dear Believer, no matter your position or place in this world, never lose sight of what lies ahead and the One who awaits you at the end of your days here on this earth. May we all be able to say, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”
