* Everyone before you has run their lap, now it’s time to run yours.

* How are you going to get through it?

* The same way Jesus did - He kept His eyes on the finish line.

* He focused on the joy He would experience when He finished His lap.

* This is what discipline is - doing what you don’t want to accomplish what you do want.

* Apply this to your work.

* The requirement for work is faithfulness.

* The reward for work is fruitfulness.

* The result of work is that you are now a nourishment to yourself and others.

* Completing the work cannot be done apart from FAITH.

* This is why the preceding chapter was about all those who finished their lap by faith.

* We can finish our lap by focusing on the joy of completing it.
