“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” – Philippians 1:6
God’s work in our lives is never incomplete or abandoned. When He begins a work in us, it is with the purpose of perfecting His divine plan. The Spirit of God continually shapes us, molding us into the likeness of Christ, so that His thoughts and promises concerning us are fulfilled. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” – Jeremiah 29:11
As children of God, we are encouraged to rest in the certainty that His purpose never changes. “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” – Romans 11:29
Life may present trials that tempt us to fear, but His word assures us that “He hath made every thing beautiful in his time.” – Ecclesiastes 3:11
He is not only the Author of our story but also the Finisher: “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.” – Hebrews 12:2
True Christian living calls us to a life of worship and fruitfulness. Our great calling is to reproduce after our kind by making disciples. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” – Matthew 28:19–20
When we embrace worship and thanksgiving rather than only presenting requests, we align with God’s plan. Scripture reminds us: “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
All that is beautiful and good belongs to Him: “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” – Psalm 24:1
He is willing to release His abundance to us when we dedicate our lives to gratitude, faith, and obedience.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the assurance that the work You have begun in me will be perfected in Your time. Teach me to trust Your process, rest in Your promises, and walk in confidence of Your plan. “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” – Psalm 37:5
Help me to live a life of thanksgiving and fruitfulness, reproducing Your light in others. May I never be moved by fear or doubt, but remain steadfast in the truth that You make all things beautiful in Your time.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
