As he was about to leave Miletus (my Greek grandfather’s middle name) to sail to Jerusalem, Paul addressed the elders from the church at Ephesus and declared, “My only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me.”

As we see the end of our lives drawing near, being faithful to God’s mission for our life becomes paramount.

“Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord, we work hard to persuade others.” 2 Cor. 5:11 NLT

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, our greatest goal and delight is to please You with our obedience and faithfulness to the call You’ve placed in our lives. Give us the grace daily to keep accomplishing Your will.
