Finish as a champion
Starting a new project is relatively easy. What is difficult is to finish it. Even more. The ultimate challenge is to finish our project with grace and brilliance. To achieve this, the Bible is the reference tool par excellence!

It is not easy to give up our desires, by denying our flesh. Of course, we want to remain in God’s good graces, but the challenge is great. Fortunately, the Bible gives us the solution to this.
Nobody likes to show their weaknesses. No one wants to admit their mistakes. Yet, God encourages us to remain humble and recognize our shortcomings. Are you able to do this?
We have many dreams and get disappointed or even angry when they don’t come true. Rarely do we view all of this from an eternal perspective. However, life does not end with us.
During a prayer meeting in 1865, Elvina Hall wrote a poem inspired by the redemptive power of Christ’s sacrifice. Her writing paired with the music of John Grape, the church organist, became a liberating hymn.
We rarely think about our death. We do everything to avoid it! But sometimes it is good to stop and examine the direction of our life. If we would die now, would we be satisfied with what we leave behind?
When we confidently say that everything is fine with us, it usually means that we have everything we want and that our plans are coming true. But does God have the same definition of well-being?
When it is hot, our eyes perceive puddles on the roads. However, advancing on the road, we realize that nothing is wet. It was just a mirage. Our reasoning can be in error and in all areas of our lives!
Anything we try to build on a bad foundation can only collapse with time and hardships. That is also the case for marriage. So it is better to think about our motivations for getting married before making a commitment before God.
This challenge we face takes over our thoughts. So much so that it can prevent us from sleeping or finding appropriate solutions. Worry suffocates us: we have to get rid of it!
