WHAT IT TAKES TO FINISH STRONG?


What does it mean to finish strong?
It means that you will come to the end
Of your life with a strong and close
Relationship to Christ
Finishing strong

It means that unless God
Has taken your wife ahead of you
You will be married to the same woman
That you are today
What it takes to finish strong

It means that you are a man
Who is in the Scripture and living the Scripture
It means that you are a man
Who has fought some battles for kingdom
And has the scars to prove it

To finish strong means
That you are leaving your children
And grandchildren the priceless
Heritage of a godly life
To do that take vision

Especially if you’re in your twenties or thirties
Few men have the vision at that age
To look forty years into the future and
Think about how they want to finish
What it takes to finish strong

It takes finish to do it
When you’re in your forties and fifties
For that’s when so many guys get sloppy spiritually
And put it all on cruise control
Oh they’ll finish all right but they won’t finish strong

It takes vision in your sixties and seventies
To realize that those little grandchildren
Are the leaders of a future generation
And it takes vision to spend time with them
Instead of cursing the country six month out of the year
