Finish The Race

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” – 2 Timothy 4:7

Tony Evans, in his book “Kingdom Men Rising”, writes the following:
“When you purchase a game of checkers, you’ll notice that on the top of each piece is the insignia of a crown. That is because each checker was created to become a king. Once it is crowned because it has successfully made it to the other side of the board, it will have the right and authority to maneuver and function at a much higher level than it could prior to being crowned.

The reality is, however, that most individual checkers will not successfully make it to the other end of the board to be crowned, because the opposition will jump them and knock them out of the game.

Whether a checker achieves its created goal of being crowned as a king is fully determined by the moves that are made underneath the hand of the one controlling it.”

Let the controlling hand in your life be Jesus.

“Regret looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up.” – John Mason

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” – 1 Corinthians 9:24
