STRONG TO THE END! – 1 Corinthians 1:8 Devotional

STRONG TO THE END​​​​​!

1 Corinthians 1:8 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 1:8

“He will keep you strong to the very end in order that you will be free of any blame on the day Jesus Christ comes again.“

Years ago I was invited by my brother-in-law to meet him at a ridiculously early hour of the morning to do a run at a local track. We limbered up and set out on our run around the track. I was a little disappointed that our pace was so slow. After a few laps I began to wheeze and gasp for more air. I then realized that this was not a sprint, but a long distance torture session! I failed to return the next day!

Watching long distance runners in athletic competition, reveals that they have spent many hours training their bodies to endure pain and fatigue in order to reach the finish line. They knew what it takes to be STRONG TO THE END!

There is a parallel in the spiritual realm. When a person first becomes a Christian they may be energized to spend time in the study of God’s Word and time alone with Him in prayer. Sadly this all too often becomes less and less a priority and in some cases they sadly fail to meet with the Lord at all.

If you find yourself in that second group, I appeal to you from the depths of my being to return to the thrilling life devotion and service to the Lord. Our time here on earth is limited and we must be – – STRONG TO THE END!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!
