Finishing -- Sunday, August 30th

Today we talked about the story of Terah and Abram. Terah was Abram's father. Terah lived in a place called Ur and started to move to Canaan (which we now call Israel). But about 1/2 way there he stopped and finished his life living in a town named Haran. His son was 75 and God came to him and told him to move to Canaan, like his father had originally intended. God promised to bless both him, his family, and the whole world through him. He then completed the journely that had started many years before, moving into Canaan. This story can be found in Genesis 11:27-12:9.

Many times we have been told by God to do something or not do something. Sometimes he even convicts us with His Holy Spirit. And many times we get very excited about doing that thing for God, but then we get 1/2 way done but get distracted. Maybe it is because we become tired, have too many things to change, it is too hard, or a something "better" comes up. All these things cause us to not finish waht we started. But God wants us to be a people that follow him, but not just half way, but completely follows him. Maybe there are things you have been called to do, today is the day to finish those things. Maybe you have made a promise to someone else, today is the day to complete what you promised.
