Friday, October 16, 2020 You Decide the Ending "Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him" (2 Corinthians 5:9 nkjv). Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, "Great is the art of beginning, but greater the art is of ending." One of the things I've realized over the years is that life can be full of surprises. For instance, people whom I thought would make their mark on the world simply crashed and burned. Then there were others whose potential wasn't all that obvious. I wondered whether they would amount to much of anything. Yet God put His hand on them in an amazing way, and they achieved things in an incredible way. The Bible tells the story of someone who had the potential to become one of the greatest leaders in the history of Israel. He was actually a judge over Israel during the time when Israel was ruled by various judges. His name was Samson, and God's hand was on him in an amazing way. Yet Samson had an incredible beginning and a tragic ending. |
