The speed we establish along the way has a significant impact on how we finish the event. When writing histories of persons, Joseph Wittig suggested that we begin with their passing rather than their birth. We had nothing to do with how our lives started, but we had a lot to do with how they ended.
Paul was imprisoned in a Roman dungeon and facing execution when he penned 2 Timothy. He remarked, "I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand" (4:6). He could then affirm, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have kept the faith" (v. 7).
Even if we got out to a slow start, struggled along the way, or started late in the Christian race, we can still finish it well. The key is to follow Christ till the very end.
The person who prioritizes God will experience lasting happiness. Simply live your life in front of your Lord, ascend to that higher, nobler plane, seek only His glory, and you will win His approval.
