I travel through Maine often and am always intrigued by new-home construction that is never finished. Sometimes it just seems like the project was totally abandoned. What happened? Could it be a divorce, financial shortfall, or realization that it was built on someone else’s property?
It reminds me of a passage in Scripture:
Luke 14: 28-30
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
The key to success is not just in a good start but in a good finish. The Apostle Paul described that principle as he sensed the nearness of the work of the executioner.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
How’s the building project going in your life?
Think about it.
