We plan, we set goals we even move things around to make room for what we need to do. Every now and then obstacles present themselves, financial pressures breathe down our neck and job demands put us behind a rock and a hard place. Often the answer is to throw in the towel and try again some other time.

Tomorrow is not promised to any of us, so we must set our sights on the notion that "Quitting is NOT an OPTION." Finish what we start. Make good on our promises. If we start the fire, make sure we're around to put it out.

Finishing is so important. Results are seen and determined by how well we finish. These unexpected events will occur....how we prepare for them will set the stage for how aggressively we fight to stay in position to win.

Okay, we went for our annual physical and the report was do something now or you might not make back for next years physical. Now our mind is in it and determined to win it....but half way through we feel the fatigue creeping up on us....we hear the cries of our friends and loved ones to keep on pushing, but we don't have the strength to reach out for another person. We hear the shouts and see others waving us on....in the corner of our minds we hear a voice saying QUIT you don't have to go on.

Just about the time we've ready ourselves to yield to defeat, God sends a friendly reminder, "with Him we already have the victory"....we're minded to fight the good fight of faith, and that the battle is not given to the SWIFT nor to the STRONG, but to the one that ENDURES until the END....With one big sigh of relief we know that the immediate cares resting on our shoulders weren't designed for us to carry and once we casted them upon the capable hands of the Lord, our joy returns to us once more....where the joy of the Lord is, there lies strength, to weather any storm and overcome any circumstance.......

We've come to far, to turn back now....the reward is just ahead for those who are determined in life that whatever they do, "Quitting is NOT an Option!" FINISHING IS THE GOAL FOR YOU!
