Steph with her bowling ball. She just finished her Senior year in High School Bowling. She had fun and gave her best in the competition. I think God gives us all talents and gifts of varying kinds. He wants us to strive to do our best with the gifts He gives us. To offer it all back in His service. Jesus was always using His hands to the good of others. Laying His hands on them and in the end opening His hands to save the world from sin. Jesus did His best. God offered His best to defeat sin, death and the devil. And a world was saved.
Sometimes life gets confusing. We don't know what is best. This is when we go to God in prayer. Wait and listen to what the Lord will command concerning us. Knowing that the end is better than its beginning. The end will complete the journey. The end includes the journey. And the journey must include God. Like bowling the final frame can be up to three balls. The end is better than the beginning and sets the stage in the competition. Sure the journey through the rest of the game is important. Offer your best all game long. But in the end, go out with a flurry. Listen and wait for the voice of God and obey. For in the end all the glory and power and might belong to God. Hallelujah! In listening and obedience God sets the stage for going out with the glory.

Lord, I work with all my might with the gifts and talents You have provided. But the end is Yours. I will be obedient this day. I will listen to Your guidance and trust You to take care of the end. ---Amen
