Focus on the Finish!
“I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus is calling us….” —The apostle Paul
No one enters a race and then wanders off to play a game of checkers or look for four-leaf clovers. They have a word for that kind of person…loser.
If you want to cross life’s finish line as a winner, you need to focus your energies—and keep your eyes on the prize. This is a race you must win! And with God’s help, it’s a race you can win with flying colors.
Drawing from the pages of the Bible, Pastor Greg Laurie presents stories of real people who stumbled and fell right out of the race—and others who picked themselves up, got back on the track, and ran straight for the goal…and the greatest Prize of all.
