THE SEED
“The end of a matter is better than its beginning….” Ecclesiastes 7:8a NIV
This scripture applies to every aspect of our lives, be it secular, professional, marital and spiritual. The gist is that there’s nothing wrong with starting little or poorly in life, but along the way you must have drive and aspirations for improvement. Maybe you’re in a new job or a new role at work and you feel that you don’t have enough experience, don’t be discouraged or intimidated, remind yourself that it’s the beginning. Invest time to learn from materials and people around, focus on how you will be the best at the end. Also in marriage, focus on the future success, put in effort, and don’t allow the lack of now to dictate the result. As a student, you might struggle in the beginning but make up your mind to be a star at the end of your school calendar. Most importantly, as a Christian, you can experience struggles at the beginning, caused by fleshly desires and life challenges. Be motivated by the words of Jesus “he that endure to the end shall be saved Mat 24:13.
PRAYER
Lord, please endow me with the enablement to have a successful end Jesus Name. Amen
