Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you just want to jump ship and head for dry land? I am in the middle of one of those situations right now. I am aggravated and sort of fed up and I want to cut all ties and start fresh and anew.
I momentarily made that decision, but before I could even act on it. Before the thought could leave my brain, God put the brakes on the very notion. "You must finish strong," were the words I heard from the Lord. As I drove home, God continued to remind my of important truths about finishing strong.
The old saying is true, no one remembers how you begin, they only remember how you finish. This fact is aggravating, but so true. My authorities have praised me continually for the work I have done. If I quit now, the only thing people will remember is that I left the job undone.
Realizing this, two things come to mind. I am so thankful that Jesus did not leave His task of saving the world unfinished. I am sure He wanted to jump ship many times before he DIED on a cross! Also, if I quit now, hundreds of other people will be affected. It is not their fault that I am aggravated or upset.
In conclusion, the next time you are ready to abandon ship, remember that your decision will affect more than just yourself and that God has you in that place for a specific purpose. He has made a way for you to make it through. Hallelujah!!!
