It's How You Finish
Reading: Isaiah 38:1-8; 2 Timothy 4:6-8
Devotional: Nineveh repented powerfully but forgot God's mercy within a generation, leading to their destruction. Hezekiah faced death but turned to God in prayer and received extended life. The difference? How they finished. Your past doesn't determine your future with God. You may have lived years in rebellion, but today you can choose to finish strong. Conversely, starting well means nothing if you abandon faith later. Paul declared, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." This isn't about perfection—it's about perseverance. Keep your face turned toward God, maintain a heart of gratitude, stay faithful in sharing the gospel, and finish the race with endurance. Your final chapter matters most.
