The Last Mile

We are soon to approach the last quarter of the year and some of us are yet to accomplish what we've set out to do.  There are various reasons for such failure which requires of us an evaluation of where we went wrong, where we've compromised and what we've failed to execute.  

Too often we have plans for ourselves, our children, our ministries, our families etc which were never in God's divine will for us.  We are soon to embrace the last three months of 2013 not knowing whether or not we will see the final day.  This is the last mile of the year and the question to you today is "How are you going to close this year if life is extended to you?"  Some of you will continue to compromise, others will remain complacent with their failures, a few will remain in the valley of the decision and others will probably be depressed because once again their plans have failed.  

I encourage you  to seek the face of God for directions on how He wants you to run this last mile of 2013. You don't need to increase your speed  i.e. become extremely busy, you need not slow down either, i.e. become depressed, mentally or emotionally overwhelmed, neither should you come up with a quick plan. Run this last mile fulfilling the will of God for your life.  In those areas where you have failed, compromised, quit, or got lost along the way, give those areas to God.  Let Him guide you, let God empower you and permit God to fill you in those areas where you thought was going to make your life more meaningful, more significant and more fulfilled.  Run this last mile of 2013  which is only three months, with your life being in the hands of the Lover of your soul.  Have a blessed day and be encouraged.
