Day 151 God Is My Finisher
Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV)
….. looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
When God starts us on a spiritual journey, He always has the end in mind. God has been working in our lives to bring us into all that He has prepared for us. The first thing He prepared for us is salvation. The cross saved us from our sins and assured us that we have a place prepared for us in heaven.
As long as we are here on this earth, we will go through things. The operative word is “through.” We are going “through” our difficulties. We are not staying in our trials, embracing them or making them part of our lifestyle.
Just before Jesus gave up His life on the cross, He said, “It is finished.” We do not need to help Jesus suffer. Because of His suffering, we have been given grace—the grace to live as a living testimony of God’s goodness and His power to deliver. That’s what our testimony should be! “Look how God brought me through the difficulty.”
We should always have our eyes upon the finish line. Jesus is the Finisher. He finished everything for us so we can run the race that is set before us.
