FINISH THE TASK!
Today's reading: Zechariah 8-14

"This is what the Lord almighty says: Take heart and finish the task!.." Zechariah 8:9 NLT

This dingy, dark, falling apart world is full of quitters.

It's littered with people who have given up and thrown in the towel.

The ones working the hardest are exhausted because there is no one sitting on the bench to give them a break.

I'm determined finish the task God has given me. The task of being a light in a dark world and salt to the lives of those needing godly seasoning.

Is it hard? You better believe it!

Is it always fun? Nope.

Do I sometimes feel like giving up? Yes, no doubt about it, yes.

But then I think about all the people over the past years that I've proclaimed Him to, who I've touted the benefits of following God to, who I've reached in Sunday School, Bible School and with a crazy blog--and I realize His words today are for me!

I don't want a small child coming back to me in their adulthood and find me not serving and believing. I don't want to be caught no longer in the faith. I don't want to be found later in life not having continued in the beliefs of this Bible I hold so dear. I don't want it to ever be said of me, 'What about all you told us about Him?'

I want to be a finisher. I'm going to tough it out. I'm going to do all He asks. I'm planning on being who it is He has created me to be--and trust Him.
