Pastor's Corner
February 2012
One of the saddest and sorriest things in life is the number of things we have started, but we never finish. Our lives can be littered with things half done. It could be a half-read book, our budget, a house project, our marriage, our devotion and prayer life and even the raising up of our children. It’s sad to say that most of us are much better starters than finishers.
“Remember Rooted” when we were young, and we used to begin a collection of this of that; or we had a new toy or a new interest, and we would be enthusiastic for a week or two. Then the thing would be thrown into the closest or pushed away into a drawer behind the socks and forgotten.
The Apostle Paul shares how God had given him a task, a duty and a course to run. Paul couldn’t abandon it. He had to complete what God had called him to do. “So it is with us family.” Just like the Apostle Paul, God has charged each one of us a course that we must start, but even more importantly, finish.
Rooted, it is the Brother or Sister who sees things through who will finish life with happiness and joy with no regrets. Remember, there are no rewards given to starters, only to finishers.
