The Finish Line

Life is a like a race, your walk with God is like a spiritual race. The sermon today was about growing in Christ, how we're made and meant to grow, we can't be comfortable and content with where we are in our faith, we're taught not to. We should be always seeking to know God more. One of the most encouraging things he said and that I've heard in a while is that in our spiritual race, we're guaranteed to finish and not only are we going to finish, but we're going to win. How crazy is that...to know that despite all the hardships, stress and pain we have to endure in this life...we're going to finish the race and we're going to win. No matter how many temptations the devil throws at is or how many obstacles, trials and hurdles we must face in our lives, no matter how hard it seems and how tough it feels...when we feel like giving up...God promises us that we will finish the race and we're going to win. It's so encouraging to me cuz it's like the ultimate sign of hope.That if you trust and have faith in God and put Him first in your life, He guarantees you the ultimate and most priceless reward...you can't earn it with money or good deeds, but simply by faith...eternal life with Him in His beautiful and glorious kingdom. It was a really good reminder to me that though we may suffer in this life, God has so many more great and amazing things planned for us later. That no matter how hard life gets, we're going to finish the race.
