S – But I consider my life of no value to myself; my purpose is to finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace. 

Acts 20:24 CSB

O – Paul states that his life is for the Gospel and not any aspirations of his own.  He wants to finish this journey well.  Knowing Jerusalem poses danger, he is moving towards it.

A – Paul has an amazing resolve to continue forward on the journey toward Jerusalem.  Most would plot another course that would allow one to continue for a greater period of time.  Paul’s focus on obeying God’s leading allows his words about the gospel to have even greater strength.

R – Lord, please help me to have the fortitude to move towards your will.  I want to finish strong in the things you call me to do.  I want my words and actions to bring strength and peace as people encounter Your love.
