We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. (Hebrews 6:11-12)
Now is not the time to become doubtful, lazy or dejected. Take up the challenge God has before us and press on toward the finish line. Follow those who have gone before us.
Complete the tasks ahead with confidence knowing God has gone before us and marked out the way. Yes it will take faith. Yes it will take a lot of trust. Yes it will take endurance. Yet we can trust the promises of God. Now is not the time to shrink back, but step up! We have this hope . . .
. . . being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6)
