My destination is St David's, I won't get there till Monday tea time so all over the weekend I'll still be pedaling away and my guess is its going to get very hilly any time soon!
Taking a moment to focus on how good it will feel to finish can be very motivating. How will it feel to be welcomed and have someone say 'well done, I've followed you all the way? I'm proud of you'.
I'm not talking about the end of my bike ride (although I am hoping to see David holding a large slice of cake as I roll into town!). I'm talking about being welcomed home after our journey through life is over.
'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things…Come and share your Master's happiness' Matthew 25:23 [NIV]
If you feel today that no-one is noticing your faithfulness in your own personal and maybe challenging circumstances, remember that God knows just how hard the going is right now and he cheers every time you make the choice to keep being faithful and one day he will say 'Good job! Well done!' and he will invite you to share his happiness, a happiness you have given him!
So 'Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up'. Galatians 5:9 [NIV]
