FINISH STRONG
Whether you consider yourself "younger" or "older," obedience to Christ does not care about our age. God desires that we pursue Him in faithfulness throughout our entire life. Just like a marathon, we must pace ourselves to finish strong. We must remember that we won't reach perfection in this life and we will make mistakes. God's mercies are new EVERY morning and He WILL finish the work He started in our lives. But we must still make the conscious decision to obey Him & do what He has asked us to do. It is by maintaining an attitude of thankfulness we will never take Him for granted and want to serve Him with our entire being.
Reflection Questions:
Why is it important we choose to have a "thankful" mindset each day?
What will start to happen if we become increasingly less thankful?
When is the last time you WROTE down what you are thankful for? Today, write down at least 10 things you are thankful for that God has given you.
Is there any command of Christ or area of your life you are struggling to obey and surrender? Talk to God and a trusted friend THIS week about that and begin the process of overcoming that.
