The Trail's End: Finishing Strong (Book 5 of 5)

At some point everything ends—even life. As much as we’d like to ignore it we all face the end of the trail, some sooner than others. The author of Hebrews wisely penned, “It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27 NASB). Every man finishes life. But not all finish strong. Oh, to hear those refreshing words, “Well done” (Matthew 25:21) after a lifetime of clawing, scratching, and fighting to push back the darkness for God’s glory. How I long to hear those words from my Master—my King! Don’t buy society’s lie to work hard, retire, and coast to the end of life’s trail. This couldn’t be further from Biblical truth. Too many men have put their face to the grindstone only to be forgotten on their tombstone. Cherish your life. You only have one. Enjoy the scenic views on your journey. Live at a pace that allows you capture the essence of life and finish strong.If you’ve passed the baton, take it back. Finish your life strong.
