Commi-TEA-ment to Finishing Well

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 
(2 TIMOTHY 4:7, ESV)

Finishing well. Faithfulness in the long haul. 

 in previous verses of chapter 4, Paul had exhorted Timothy to preach the word, to endure all for the sake of the sake of the gospel. Paul, himself, had put his life's effort into completing the "course" which God had set before him and now his time for departure had come. (death) Paul left nothing undone. He remained committed to the faith.

 Faithfulness: a long obedience in the same direction. (Cole Huffman)

 No cuppa mediocri-TEA served by Paul. He chose a cuppa full commi-TEA-ment until the end. He had poured his life into Timothy---for the sake of the gospel.
What "tea" is in your cuppa faith? Mediocri-TEA or full commi-TEA-ment? Something to ponder in the New Year.

      Thank you for knowing and caring----can't wait to talk to you about the journey---it was Plan G---God's plan. Knowing I could not have done it in my own strength, I marvel---at His faithfulness.
