Persevere Until The End

 DAILY DEVOTION MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT

_Galatians 5:7_

_You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?_

*Persevere until the end*

It is well and good to begin well, but falling short of finishing the race will not save us from eternal condemnation. When we begin a good thing, we must put all effort necessary to finish well. 

Christ urges us to look to His cross and not down at the trials and cares of this world that threaten to pull us down. When we look to Christ, we find strength and the zeal to continue on in our Christian walk. Focusing on Him helps us increase in courage and in inching closer and closer to our goal. 

Be of good courage, move foward in faith and refuse to backslide or to look behind you at what the world thinks or expects. Each step we take foward is a victory for the kingdom of God and defeat for the kingdom of the devil. When we persevere, we also encourage others to keep on and to remain resolute in their faith.

*Prayer*

Oh Lord help me to focus on you and to refuse to give up knowing that you will strengthen me and keep me upright so that I will finish my journey in faith..Amen
