SCRIPTURE: Philippians (NIV) 1:4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
OBSERVATION: God’s plan for our lives is a continuing plan. It is not a start and stop and start and stop again plan. Perhaps we have all been guilty of running hot and cold in our devotion to our Lord, but God who continually lives in our lives desires to be continually at work in our lives, maturing and perfecting each aspect of our lives.
His plan is to be worked out here on earth in this life. He will continue to work toward completion until He comes for us either in our death or in the rapture of the church. At that time His work in our lives will be as complete as it is going to get.
APPLICATION: God is using all things to work together for our good and His glory. When times are tough, we must not forget that it is God who is carrying on the good work that He started.
I must remember that He is working according to His plan, not my plan. And He is working on His timetable. Hebrews 11 gives a list of people who were all living by faith when they died! Do not let your faith die before you do!
Remember the artist puts in the final details just before finishing his work. Let God finish His work in and through me in these final years of my life.
PRAYER: Lord, I am yours. There is still much work to be done in and through me. My life is your. May you get glory from my life. May my life be pleasing to you. Amen
