What to Do When You Don't Know What to Doনমুনা

A lot of people think this letter to Timothy was one of the last things Paul wrote before dying. He was writing while looking back on his life, reflecting on what he had done. And what had he done? Fought the good fight. Paul didn’t say he had won the fight or knocked out the competition. He wrote that he had done what he could. That he could look at his life and be content that he lived in a way he could be proud of. In other words, Paul wasn’t writing about winning. He was writing about finishing well—not giving up, not quitting, not caving in, even at the end. You may find yourself in a season when it doesn’t feel like you’re winning at much.

Remember that the goal isn’t to win; it’s to finish the race you’re on to the best of your ability. 

This week, try to memorize this short Scripture. Let it push you to persevere through the journey, no matter what it looks like for you. Though you may stumble or struggle from time to time, you won’t ever give up.
