Finishing Right

Scripture: 1 Peter 4: [2] As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.

Observation: I know how I lived most of my life, but am I going to finish well? I lived my life for evil human desires and hurt everyone around me including myself. I now have the desire to live the rest of my life for the will of God, but can I? Satan knows my number and only with God’s strength and power can I combat it. My heart belongs to God, but it’s a fight every day and I need to win to glorify God.

Application: Ask God constantly for the wisdom and strength it’s going to take to live this life in glory and honor to God. I need to search his will in my life by studying his word and keeping in prayer with my focus on Him. To remind myself of my place on this earth and who I belong to, to be the servant I’m called to be and to be obedient to all God asks of me.

Prayer: My Lord, my King direct me each day to do your will and not to stray. My mind wanders so easily and I get so involved in the things of this world. Help me finish well always searching for your will in every situation. May I bring a smile to your face each day and honor you.
