“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the
race, I have kept the faith”
II Timothy 4:7
As you read through the Book of Acts, or any of Paul’s
epistles too, it is impossible to miss his passion and urgency for preaching
the Gospel.
He is persecuted and chased out of one town only to
immediately go to the synagogue or public square of the next town or city to deliver
the same message.
He preached with the same zeal and passion that was
once reserved for rounding up and imprisoning his now fellow believers.
He was compelled to preach!
What would stop most of us today never kept Paul from
continuing on or, as he would say, running the race and fighting the good
fight.
He served Christ fully day in and day out.
His desire to do so does not appear to wane any of the
days after he suffered for the message that he carried.
He would look
back near the end of his life and rightly encourage others to carry on with
that same passion, zeal and intensity
Let his words ring in your heart today and do the
same!
