Stay the Course

We all could learn a few things from the Olympic men's swim team. Especially Phelps and Lezak. If you have a chance to go to youtube or nbc, check out the men's relay race - awesome. I encourage you today to stay the course as Christ is your true north. Many before us and those after us share in this race and as we all "relay for life" - be encouraged that we are on a team that must remain focused on the goal at hand. Maybe you are caring for an elderly parent - stay the course. Are you expecting a new baby or in the midst of raising small children and wonder if anything is getting through - stay the course. Whether it's a weight loss goal, a retirement plan, paying off debt, or some personal goal...Stay the course. Praise God I have learned that it is not how you begin but how you finish. Finish well.

"And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you." Phil 1:6
