'For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the
beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end.'
(Hebrews 3:14)

'Often the last step is the winning step. In Pilgrims 
Progress the greatest number of dangers were lurking
in the area closest to the gates of the Celestial City.
It was in that region the Doubting Castle stood. And
it was there the enchanted ground lured the tired
traveler to fatal slumber. It is when heaven's heights
are in full view that the gates of hell are the most
persistent and full of deadly peril.'
(Streams in the Desert)

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due
season we shall reap, if we faint not.(Gal 6:9)' 

Reader, I need my blogs!

To those who were of the Church of Philadelphia:
'Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou 
hast, that no man take thy crown.' (Rev 3:11)

Any runner will tell you that it at the very end of a
marathon, even as the goal is in sight, that the race
becomes very difficult and the runner so wants to
slow down, lie down, quit. Here is your encourage-
ment for the day:

'Hast thou not known?
Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the
Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth
not neither is weary? there is no searching of his
understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and
to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the
young men shall utterly fall:
BUT THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL 
RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY SHALL  
MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES; THEY 
SHALL RUN AND NOT BE WEARY; AND THEY 
SHALL WALK AND NOT FAINT. (Is 40:28-31)
