“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
In the hustle and bustle of our log-jammed, busy lifestyles today, it is good to be challenged to keep our priorities in line with some that Yehovah Himself sets for us. Let us consider some of those today.
1. Keep the main thing the main thing. 2 Corinthians 11:3 speaks about “the simplicity which is in Yeshua.” Stop complicating things! Our Christian walk is all about our relationship with Yehovah and our relationship with people, which we could sum up as “love Yehovah; and love people like He does.” Remember, the only thing you will take into heaven is your relationship with Yeshua. But also, do not lose people in the process of living your life. Take and use each opportunity you get to impact people; remember, this may be your one chance today to impact them for eternity. Take it – and be a blessing, not a curse to them.
2. Isaiah 61 says that the Ruach of Yehovas is upon you and has anointed you to DO something – not just to feel good, or to have “goose bumps.”
3. Till your last breath, fight a good fight, finish your course, keep the faith. (2 Tim 4:1-8). Make full proof of your ministry. In other words, determine that, by Yehovah’s grace, you will do, accomplish and finish all your Heavenly Father created and planned for you to do and accomplish in your life on planet earth – so that you will not be ashamed to meet Him in Heaven – but be thrilled to hear Him day, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of Yehovah.”
