Shepherd’sVoice By Mark Copeland
Don’t stop until it’s finished! As many of you know, along with teaching 6th grade math, I coach 7th grade girls in volleyball, basketball, and track. In my 31 years of being in the education business, I have seen students experience some of the best of times and some of the worst of times. Just this year I saw the giggly thrill on a girl’s face when she cleared the high jump bar in a track meet 6 inches higher than she had ever jumped and the bitterness in a kid’s face whose parents went through a divorce. When I see such situations, I try to find a life lesson that can be of benefit. For instance, this year in a track meet one of my girls was participating in the 100 meter hurdles. She was winning the race, but when she cleared the 10th hurdle, she stopped and started to walk off the track until she realized that she hadn’t crossed the finish line. By that time, another athlete had passed her and finished first. The lesson she learned that day was not to stop until crossing the finish line.
This event reminded me of what Paul wrote to Timothy in II Tim. 4:7-8 where he wrote, “ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.”
Many times students have brought test papers to my desk wanting me to have them to grade. I will ask them if they are finished and they will say yes. Then I will turn their paper over and show them the other side that is not complete.
I have had people in the church tell me that they can’t do what they use to do because of health, family, financial, or other reasons. I am thankful for Sister Wilma Black who can’t do exactly what she used to do because of health reasons, but that doesn’t stop her from serving in another way to bring glory to God. (Have you seen any baby blankets, lately?)
We all have something that we can do to honor God and build His church. As long as we are still breathing, the finish line is still in front of us and not behind us. There is still work to do. Are you finished? I urge you not to stop, but to turn the page and complete the other side.
