FINISHING STRONG IS TOUGH


It is not for everyone
Because it is not easy
I admit to you that it is hard
But there is another way
That is much harder

The Scriptures say that
The way of the transgressor is hard
If you are interested in what
Eugene Peterson call
A long obedience in the same direction

If you are interested in being
The one out of ten
If you are interested in being
The man who is the exception to the rule
Read on

Quietly frankly if you’ve gotten this far
And you’re still reading then you are exception
Too many guys are willing to do just enough to get by
Too many guys are ready to bail out of the race
At the first twinge of sideache

Is your marriage on rough water right now? Don’t quit
Is that secretary who is craving more of your attention
Starting to look more and more attractive? Don’t even think about it
Have you gone so long without apparently seeing God
Say yes to one of your prayers that you’re about ready to chuck
This Christian thing that would be a serious mistake
The enemy would like to sucker us into thinking
That the easy way is the best way but it never is
I have been giving a tremendous amount of thought
A punch in the stomach but there is also a challenge
And I think most men likes challenge

Will I be the one in ten?
How can I make sure
That I’m the one in ten?
Except you trust in God that when it can happen
And you will see is no longer tough to finish strong
