“Life is currently described in one of four ways: As a journey, as a
battle, as a pilgrimage, and as a race. Select your own metaphor,
but the finishing necessity is all the same. For if life is a journey, it
must be completed. If life is a battle, it must be finished. If life is a
pilgrimage, it must be concluded. If life is a race, it must be won.”
-Dr. J. Richard Sneed.
Here it is. I didn’t ask for it, but I must complete it. Sometimes it is like a fog that lifts momentarily and then returns unexpectedly. Then at other times, it is a race and I feel so far from the finish line. Someone must be mindful of me and give me strength, wisdom and that all-necessary perseverance till time is up. That someone must be the Author and Finisher of my faith.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Hang in there, my friend, because the finish line is just around the corner.
Think about it.
