“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” Ecclesiastes 9:11
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:13
I am so relieved that this has come to an end. It started out good, but became a chore, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a day of devotion.
I am a little tickled because I wanted to use a certain scripture to mark the end of my journey. As it turns out, I had created by own scripture by combining Ecclesiastes 9:11 and Matthew 24:13 to make LTB 1:1, which says,
The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
So, part of my finishing the task was enduring until the end. I honestly wanted to quit much earlier, but it was so important for me to finish the race once I started.
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
