I Want to Finish Well for God’s Glory
“Turning 50 hit me hard. Somehow, it felt a lot different than turning 40… How much longer will I have to live and serve the Lord? 25 years? 20 years? Less? Only God knows” - P&D
This is a great article and reminder. I am farther along than Tim in my age, and closer to the end, but for me, it has gotten significantly harder. My first 2/3rds seemed so easy. My faith has been challenged much harder. I have crossed those paths where many have failed, but Christ has held me fast. After I have persevered through one, a greater looms in front of me. The term, "hope" is incredibly real, and yet thin and etheral. Like Tim, I don't know how I will finish, but my hope, like Tim states, is that with each step, if I continue to focus and put my faith in Christ, I will finish well. I don't need to get consumed with the darkness that lies in front of me, but just focus on the 1 to 2 feet in front of me. If I can just keep that illuminated in front of me and focus on that, than I will make it to the end.
