Finishing Well!

Posted on Nov 28, 2015 in Devotions |

You know how you approach and new project, one that you are truly passionate about? Like Dwayne for example, when he commits to one of his kayak projects. He is totally passionate about it and every detail is important, if not critical. Or how about any of the Henderson clan when they go duck hunting or fishing, say what you want but they are all about the end result. For others, fantasy football at Wellspring Fellowship seems to generate a lot of passion!!

Our walk with God should be no different; it too should reek of passion along with all the effort of a mighty warrior seeking victory in battle. In truth, isn’t our walk in this world parallel to a battlefield? We simply tend to comfortably call it the ‘mission field’ but the reality is we will always be in constant battle.

The key to any battle is to finish well (that means to win)!! In Philippians 3:14 Paul says, “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Paul says that goal is to know Christ – to be like Christ – And to be all Christ has in mind for him. That’s the goal we are challenged with everyday. We all desire to achieve ultimate victory with God at the highest level, but will we commit?? Come and be encouraged as we discuss 3 basic principles that will help us to finish strong in Christ Jesus.
