📖 Verse of the Day

Reflection:

In a dim prison cell, shackled yet unshakeable, Paul penned words that would echo through eternity: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." In that declaration, we hear the resounding triumph of a life utterly abandoned to Christ.

Every trial endured, every mile traveled, every soul won—Paul counted them not as losses, but as gains. He had found a love worth giving everything for, a purpose that turned sacrifices into songs of praise.

As he neared the finish line, he wasn't tallying regrets; he was celebrating a life poured out like an offering. He had discovered the secret: true joy is found in complete surrender to the One who surrendered all for us.

This is our invitation today. In every decision, every trial, every act of faith—we're stepping into His story. We're discovering that a life given fully to Christ echoes in eternity.

Fight the good fight. Finish your race. Keep the faith. And one day, may you too say: "It was worth it all, for the sake of knowing Christ.”

Ask Yourself:

• Imagine your life is over and your obituary is published. What would you like it to say?

• What changes might you make now to “finish the race” well?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Father,

When this race feels long and my steps grow heavy, remind me what I'm running for. Not for trophies that tarnish or crowns that fade, but for the joy of knowing You more.

Thank You for making every step worth taking, every battle worth fighting. Give me courage to pour out my life like Paul did - not because I have to, but because You're worth it all. And when my race is done, may my life echo with one message: Jesus was enough.

In Your precious name, Amen.
