“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: … ” Ecclesiastes 7v8 (KJV)

It is once again a big encouragement to know that the end of a thing is better than the beginning. The Bible gives great encouragement to this end with such verses as: “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase” (Job 8v7); “For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off” (Proverbs 23v18, AMP), and “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2v3, KJV). Knowing there is an end helps us to patiently wait for the fulfillment of God’s promises for our lives. The Christian walk is one of faith, and patience, sometimes lined with periods of waiting. Hebrews 6v12 (TLB) says “Then, knowing what lies ahead for you, you won’t become bored with being a Christian nor become spiritually dull and indifferent, but you will be anxious to follow the example of those who receive all that God has promised them because of their strong faith and patience.” Knowing that we are in a process, helps us to stay focused. Isaiah 64v4 (KJV) tells us “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside Thee, what He hath prepared for him that waiteth for Him.” Beloved, hold on – there is an end. Hold on to your expectation.
