Finish Well

11/30/2024

Everyone goes through an end. Sometimes it’s the end of a season, work project, school year, huge planning event, raising a kid, or a ministry commitment. Too often we get to the end feeling worn out and tired and maybe a little bruised and broken. We just want to relax, find rest, or look forward to what’s next instead of staying the course and finishing the current season strong. Ecclesiastes 7:8 reminds us, “Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” We must remember to finish well the race set before us. It’s not enough that we start strong, but that we endure and finish the current chapter well. We must remember that the work that we do is a way to glorify Christ and honor him so we may be the salt and light the world needs whether that’s at the start, middle, or end of a season. Colossians 3:17 encourages us in this way, “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”  It’s easy to say, “I’ve done enough to get the job done, so time to move on.” But let’s encourage one another to not do enough to get done but to do it with all our might even unto the end!
