Only Two ‘Finished Strong’

Israel waited for forty years

To enter the land because

Ten guys who had started strong

Ten guys had seen God

Send the plagues to Egypt

Ten guys who had seen God

Open the Red sea for them and their families

And then close it on Pharaoh’s army

Then guys who had seen God

Work time and time again on their behalf

Freaked out because the land

Contained some very powerful tribes and fortified cities

In other words, the ten had a greater

Fear of man than they did of God

Only two finished strong

And this was after all mind

Boggling miracles God had performed

Before their eyes

Fear is the sand of machinery of life

A whole generation perished in the bleak of sand

The problem is, no one

But God can look into man’s heart

You can bet that each of these ten guys

If they were around today, would be

At the church faithful every Sunday morning and night

You see, it’s endurance

That spate the men from the boys

It’s endurance that determines

Whether or not a man will finish strong

And endurance is the fruit of godly character

The Christian life isn’t a hundred yard dash

It’s a marathon

It’s a long race and long races don’t required speed

They require

Grit, determination and finishing power...Hebrew 12:1-2

You may be reading this and thinking

That it’s too late for you to finish strong

You’ve made some mistake some big mistakes

You may think you could never finish strong

Will you be that two that will finish strong out of the crowd?
