Topic: BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND
Biblical Text: ‘ O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!’ [Deuteronomy 32:29]
There is a classic story about the hare and the tortoise. The tortoise challenged the hare to a race. The hare was surprised, he replied, You are the slowest animal I have ever seen, nevertheless, I will race with you but I am sure, the race will not last a minute, he boasted. The date of the race was fixed. The tortoise discussed with his kinsmen and they hatched a plan. Since they looked alike, they decided to position themselves from the start of the race to the end. They will allow the tortoise that challenged the hare to cross the finish line before the hare. While the tortoise was planning and strategizing towards the race, the hare was boasting around the village. The day of the race came! On starting the race, as fast as the hare ran, he kept meeting a tortoise ahead of him in the race; the tortoise crossed the finish line ahead of the hare! The slowest animal won. Do not underestimate any task, you must begin with the end in mind. To begin with the end in mind is to think about the anticipated end result and what it will make you become. As a wise Christian, we must consider the end of any activity we want to do. Some are in prison today because they did not consider the end result of the bad activities they were engaging it. Amnon decided to hatch an evil plan to sleep with his sister. He did not begin with the end in mind; to consider the repercussion of committing such shameful act. At the end, he paid with His life.
KNOW IT ∞ Begin with the end in mind of any activity you want to engage in.
READ IT ∞ 2 Samuel 13:2, Luke 14:28, Psalm 50:22
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the wisdom to always begin any task with the end in mind.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Philippians 1-4
