Start to Finish

Read Zechariah 4-6

Zechariah 4:9 says, "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you."  Each one of Rachel Ray’s 30-Minute Meals shows begins with her telling her viewers she is going to make an entire meal from start to finish in the thirty minutes it takes to watch the show.  And she does, so the viewer can, too.

Beginnings are easy.  A project starts with a plan and with enthusiasm, but it’s easy to get bogged down in the middle.  The end is so far away and seems like it will never come.  So either the project takes twice as long to do because we have no energy and have to force ourselves to keep going, or it gets abandoned altogether and never gets completed.

But God ends what He begins.  He never leaves us hanging and never grows weary in the middle.  He will see us through whatever we’re going through from start to finish.

Tomorrow’s reading: Zechariah 7-10
