Finish Well

What's around the bend?

When you are in your fifties, you begin to think about how you are going to wrap this thing up. After all, few of us make it past 100, so you know you are on the downhill portion of the course.

Priorities are much different now than when you began. An adjustment of goals and dreams need to take place. The things you once thought important, now?  Not so much.

As I face eternity, it becomes more and more vital how I finish.

I want to finish well.

I don't want to be what I have seen happen so many times, a person who is just waiting to die. And even worse, someone who is bitter about the way life ended up.  

I want to go out with a bang! I want my last years to be more and more productive.

What's my plan for finishing well?

I am standing on this Word:

"as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue" 2 Peter 1:3 NKJV

He will give me everything I need to finish well as I get to know Him more and more. That's it.  Just that.  If I focus more each day on knowing Him, it's going to end up okay.
