Daily Inspirations 01.30.14 P.M Theme: Finishing Well Text: 2 Timothy 4:7 -- I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Lesson: You cant turn your back on Christ if you keep your eyes on Him. Note: I read a humorous story about a bloodhound. He started cahsinga deer but a fox crossed his path, so he started chasing the fox instead. Ater a while, a rabbit crossed his path, So the hound chased the rabbit. Yet later, a mouse crossed his path and the hound chased the mouse in a hole. The hound, which began his hunt on the trail of a magnificent deer, ended up watching a mouse hole! Most of us will laugh at the bloodhound. But if we stop and think, well realize that often we too are easily distracted. At times we may even be sidetracked from following Christ. It is so easy to start we but then run after things that cross our paths. We need to take to heart the words of the apostle Paul. He told timothy to focus on the purpose of his life and ministry (2 Tim.1:6-13; 2:1-22-26; 3:14-17). He urged him to tell others about Christ and to warn them not to turn aside (4:1-5). The values of this world can easily influence us, tempting us to despise sound doctrine and accept what is false (4:3-4). So we need to know and proclaim Gods Word, persevere through hardship, and keep the faith(vv.2,5,7). So therefore brethren, with Gods help, we keep our eyes on Christ, stay close to Him and FINISH WELL. Have a good afternoon.
