After two wet, dreary days, last Saturday was a beautiful day for the first Rotary Ride in Greene County. Four of us from church rode the 56 mile hilly route and Judy did the 25 mile route (I am proud of her), and all five of us finished. One of the guys began getting leg cramps half way through the course and had a fever before it was over but he endured and completed the route; a real example of perseverance.
Life is like that. There are hills to climb, obstacles to avoid, unexpected adversity happens; it is like a bike tour, definitely not a sprint. As I read the pages of Scripture, it reveals those who finished strong but also shows many who did not end well. I want to finish strong how about you?
Here is a great promise from God’s Word in James 1:12, “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
