Daily Devotion 62 - It's Not About How You Start, It's About How You Finish

In this episode, George Binoka covers Joshua 14–17 and Luke 17, focusing on leadership, faithfulness, and finishing what God calls us to do.In Joshua 14, Caleb stands out as a model of faith and courage. While others once spread fear, Caleb trusted God and, even in old age, boldly accepted a difficult assignment. George emphasizes that everyone is a leader in some capacity, and our attitude—faith-filled or fearful—directly influences others.Joshua 15–17 highlights God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His promises down to the smallest details. At the same time, these chapters contrast obedience with neglect. While Joshua finishes his task, many tribes fail to fully drive out their enemies, leaving work undone that will lead to future struggles. The lesson is clear: incomplete obedience leads to long-term consequences.In Luke 17, Jesus teaches on several key themes. He warns about causing others to stumble, emphasizes the connection between faith and faithful obedience, and demonstrates gratitude through the story of the ten lepers—only one returns to give thanks. This reveals the difference between genuine faith and self-centered motives. Jesus also reminds His followers that the Kingdom of God will come suddenly and unexpectedly, calling believers to remain watchful and faithful.
