FINISH THE RACE WITH JOY

Completing the purpose of life and ministry with faithful endurance, rather than just surviving until the end, is the only way to finish gloriously, with joy. It requires keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, laying aside unnecessary weights, and prioritizing our calling in Christ, over personal comfort or fear (Heb. 12:1-2).
Moreover, adopting the mindset that finishing the calling is more important than personal safety or comfort, as a Christian, is very helpful in trials, for it keeps one focused on their eternal reward: a crown of righteousness and eternal joy (2 Tim. 4:7-8).

PRAYER: Dear LORD, Abba Father, thank You for graciously leading me through the race of Salvation with joy! Blessed be Your Holy Name; for with Your presence in me, I will surely finish gloriously - in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 20:24
