Finish What You Start | The Crown Only Fits Finishers

Ecclesiastes 9:11 reminds us that the race isn’t about the swift or the strong—it’s about those who endure until the end. Having the best gear doesn’t guarantee a crown. Finishing barefoot is better than quitting in Nikes.

Time and chance happen to us all, but the real question is: will you finish? Solomon’s wisdom shows us that victory doesn’t belong to the ones who sprint at the start—it belongs to those who keep pressing when the storm hits.

Everyone loves to start something new, but endurance is built to last through the storm. Nobody wants to hear almost stories. A track half-built is a waste. God doesn’t build us out of playdough—He builds us to last. The crown has been prepared to fit only finishers.

Every runner who starts doesn’t always cross the finish line, but the ones who do all carry the same story: struggle, pain, opposition, and then triumph. It only takes one chapter to change a story.

Finishing determines how you are remembered. Quitters miss 100% of the time. Consistency beats intensity. Small wins build momentum. God crowns finishers—not starters. Even Jesus and Paul declared, “I finished my course.” Will you?

The enemy whispers quitting every day, but you can order something different off the menu. Let’s finish something today. Don’t validate your critics by stopping short—teach others how to finish.

You have a race to run, and nothing tastes better than finishing strong.
