Finishing Well

 

“But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”  Acts 20:24

 

Time is running short as the number of weeks, days and hours are dwindling before we close the chapter on 2025. This time of year, we get wrapped up in the frivolity of festivities and wait to start the year off with optimistic hopes and rarely kept resolutions. Why not try something different right now? Instead of rushing toward January with promises we may not keep, we can slow our pace and invite God to shape our hearts now, before the calendar turns. Let these final days carry the weight of holy purpose by:

 

Doing the things you’ve been postponing.

 

Offering kindness in the very places where weariness and frustration has taken root.

 

Giving generously of your time, talent or treasure, choosing to serve others rather than yourself.

 

Resolving to be the best spouse, parent, friend, employee you can be.

 

Living a life of self-control, rather than in the chaos of a life left unchecked.

 

Taking responsibility for your actions and pursuing changes that reflect the person God is shaping you to become.

 

Leaning into God with purpose, seeking His presence and aligning your steps with God’s will.

 

Let each remaining moment become an act of worship, a testament of trust, and a declaration that the God who carried you through this year will faithfully lead you into the next. You show up and let God show off as He uses you to end the year with a bang that carries His goodness, His purpose, and His power into the New Year.
