A lot of kids are already out of school. I see more activity on the streets; a lot more kids in the stores with their parents. My children, however, don’t get out for another two weeks. Because they had extra time off during Christmas break, they now have to endure nine more days of school.
Waiting isn’t always easy; particularly when your goal is in sight. Often we want to ease our work load because we’re too tired to put out our best efforts. The Apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 9:24, “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.”
We are to strive to do our best always. We’re not to slack off at the end. We need to finish strong in all things, especially when it comes to our spiritual life. Despite the circumstances around us, we are to hold on, hang tough, and to trust the Lord of All who watches over us.
Christians need to be finishers. If we use our own efforts and energies, we will fail. If we seek God’s strength for the task He’s given us, we will succeed. Ask God to help you pass your test of endurance.
