Introduction:
The race of life is a marathon and not a sprint. It is a long distance race that requires courage stamina and discipline, a journey of 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes and 31,536,000 seconds.


We all know it is one thing to start something; it is quite another to complete it. To start is easy, to end is not. To start can be simple, but to end takes sacrifices.

BUT we are called to finish the race, and it takes endurance. We need to be (1) prepared for the struggles that will come, and (2) focus our attention on Jesus.

Things to help in Finishing Strong:

1. Maintain holy living. There is no greater obstacle to finishing well than sin. It tarnishes the best of records and intentions. You must always allow the Holy Spirit to work in you to ensure that you become more like Jesus.

2. Know your purpose. Paul could say that he had finished the race because he knew what his race entailed. Jesus finished the work the Father gave Him to do.

3. Be true to your purpose. Both Solomon and King Saul knew their purposes, but they got sidetracked by selfish ambition and personal pleasure. The Pharisees rejected God's purpose, and that marked the beginning of the end for their movement and way of life (Luke 7:30).

4. Leave behind a good name. Proverbs 10:7 says, "The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot" (NKJV).

In Conclusion: To finish strong, you need to be prepared to pay a price. “It is not where you start – it’s where you finish that counts”
We should remember Nehemiah's prayers as we consider our lives and our desire to finish well. On two separate occasions, Nehemiah prayed that God would remember him for the work he had done: "Remember me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people" (Neh. 5:19); "Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its services!" (Neh. 13:14).
