2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”

Bless your heart for just being here today. Because if you’re reading this, that means you’re still in the ring. Still on the track. Still holding on.

Now Paul wasn’t bragging when he said, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” No, he was testifying. That’s the sound of a soul that’s been through the fire and came out faithful. That’s the voice of a man who limped across the finish line with bruises on his body but peace in his heart.

This verse reminds us: life is a fight. But it’s a good one. And it’s your course—not anyone else’s. You don’t have to run it like them. Just run it with faith.

The goal is not perfection. The goal is perseverance.

So if you’re tired today, if you’re discouraged, if you feel like quitting—don’t.

Just take the next step. Just pray one more prayer. Just whisper, “Lord, help me keep the faith.”

Because one day, like Paul, you’ll be able to look back over it all and say, “I didn’t give up. I didn’t back down. I kept going. And I kept the faith.”

And that, my friend, is how you win. 💪🏼

Stay in the fight. Finish your race. Keep the faith.
