Finishers

In the story of Nehemiah and the people of Israel, God called them to rebuild a wall. And at first the job seemed overwhelming. But, with God’s help they began to believe it was possible. And so 52 days after they began Nehemiah 6:15-16 says this

Nehemiah 6:15-16 (NLT)
15 So on October 2 the wall was finished—just fifty-two days after we had begun. 16 When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God.

That is a verse that God wants to be true in the lives of all his followers. God is looking for people who hear him and follow him. People who trust him to help them finish what He has called them to do. People who stay radically committed in the areas of life that matter most.

So let me ask you: What is the insurmountable task that is in front of you that you know God has called you to finish? Because, if you can identify it and rise up in faith and start doing that one thing that God has called you to do - you can finish it!

And boy doesn't our world need more finishers.
