The end is another beginning! – Ruth 4: 13-22
Part Three: the end is a new beginning for our future
v14 Praise be to the Lord who this day has not left you without a kinsman-redeemer… He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age.
How will you end your days? Will you be renewed and sustained so that you cross the finishing line as a faithful servant of Christ? Age is not the issue. Jesus finished his days at 33. The finishing line is not controlled by a chronological date. It is controlled by what your ordained and allotted years have been decided upon before one of them came into place. Every day is another day spent of your life. The finishing line is drawing near. The time of your life is right now, the opportunity is now. This is not a rehearsal for something else. No one can run the race for you. You are not racing against any other runners. Your greatest opponent is yourself. The race is against yourself to be all that your Creator designed for you to be.
The Apostle Paul was fast approaching the finishing line. In his final hours as the curtain was coming down on his life he gives once again, he reaches into his life one more time and he finds there’s one more thing he can do, he can write some more advice to his son in the faith, Timothy, the next generation. He writes ‘Timothy don’t you give up, keep going, reach for your destiny’ 2 Timothy 4: 6-8
It doesn’t matter how you start. It only matters how you finish.
