Joni And Friends Devotional for 28th August 2023
Joni and Friends Devotional for 28th August 2023 Monday Message. As you study today’s devotional, remember this; “Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT)
TOPIC: Aim to Finish Well
Hi, this is Joni Eareckson Tada and I want you to know that I’m deeply touched when you “like” my messages or share them with your Facebook friends; I’m honored by your encouragement. Honestly, truly. But I cannot focus on accolades or how many followers I have or how many “thumbs up” a post received or how many people liked it or shared it.
No, every day, I just… want to… finish… well. I say, “Oh, Jesus, keep me from shaming your name by grabbing the focus off you and trying to put it on myself. Keep me from grumbling against your providence. Help me to bear my cross with a lowly, obedient spirit. Help me to reach the finish line in one piece, exuberantly joyful, all the while panting and heaving, ‘Help me, Lord!’”
Don’t we all want to just finish well. Don’t we all just want to collapse at the feet of Jesus, grab his ankles, kiss his feet, leaned back on our haunches, raise our hands and, in tears, whisper, “Thank you Jesus.” That will be finishing well. And I invite you to join me in that journey.
Thank you for reading Joni And Friends Devotional for 28th August 2023
