I
have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the
faith. 2nd Timothy 4:7
Looking
Down the Road
When
the Apostle Paul knew his life was coming to a close he wrote a
touching letter to Timothy, his son in the faith. He had likened his
life and service for his LORD to a race that was well run. He was
finished, from his first encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus
to his death under the Roman tyrant Nero. He had positively kept
faith with his calling to the very end.
This
will be my final devotional thoughts blog post. I sense the LORD is
leading me to a different stage of life. I'm not sure what that looks
like but God is good and faithful and I rest in that. In having
written devotional thoughts for more than 20 years, beginning in 1995
via email, I have labored to share sound biblical doctrine and preach
Christ and Him crucified (1st
Corinthians 2:2). I am sure I have kept the faith and run my race
with true belief and purpose in Christ. It is time to move down the road with the LORD and
experience all the goodness He has waiting for me there. My blog site will
remain available to any persons who wish to access it.
My
hope is in sharing my thoughts and experiences in my walk with the
LORD folks have been encouraged and edified. That was my goal in Jesus Christ. As I finish this phase of my life I encourage you with Paul's
words to the Christians at Ephesus; “I keep asking that the
God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the
Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better”
(Ephesians 1:17).
Finally
I say farewell until we meet again for I want you to be sure it is
not the end. I shall meet and greet many of you for the first time in the coming Kingdom
which our blessed LORD and Messiah will establish at His return. It has been the
highest honor to have been used to build up and edify the Saints of
God in Christ Jesus. Blessings and love to you all. Keep fighting the good fight O ye good and faithful servants!
