Second Wind
We are exhorted to keep going, press on, finish the race.
We have a calling, a purpose in this world. We have a course God set for us.
We are not to grow weary.
This is challenging!
But, think about it. God knows us better than we know ourselves. He has a purpose for our lives. God ordained the work He has for us. What we do, or don’t do, matters.
And! He accomplishes His purpose in our lives.
How to Get a Second Wind
How do we get a second wind in our lives? How do we get renewed energy to finish our race?
Remember whose we are and who we are
Almighty God, Creator and Ruler of everything, chose us, justified us, is sanctifying us, and will bring us to glory.
We are God’s beloved.
Sovereign God is in control and promises to bring good out of everything in our lives.
Determine
Determine to finish the course God set out for us, setting our faces like flint to reach our God-given goals.
Determine in each day, each moment, to please God.
Determine to live this life in hope, in joy, in the light of guaranteed eternal life.
Pray
Father, things are hard. And the problems we are facing have gone on a long time. Please renew our energy and our determination to live with joy and faithfulness.
