God is Faithful in Completing His Work
Scripture Reading — Philippians 1:6
He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
I remember a time when everything in my life seemed to be falling apart. I felt like a work in progress that had been abandoned. I began to doubt whether God’s promises would be fulfilled in my life.
Then a wise mentor reminded me of Philippians 1:6. She shared how God had been faithful in her own life, bringing her through trials and unfinished projects to a place of fulfillment and purpose. Her story gave me hope and renewed my faith in God’s ability to complete his work in me.
God is not like us; he does not leave things unfinished. When he starts a work in us, he is committed to see it through. The process of transformation and growth can be challenging and slow, but we can trust in God’s perfect timing and faithfulness.
In self-analysis, I see how God has been at work in my life, shaping me through both triumphs and trials. Every step, whether forward or seemingly backward, has been part of his plan to mold me into the person he created me to be.
Today let’s take comfort in knowing that God is faithful to complete the work he has started in us. No matter where we are in our journey, we can trust that God is working all things together for our good and to his glory.
Dear God, thank you for your faithfulness in our lives. Help us to trust in your timing and process. Strengthen our faith, knowing that you will complete the good work you have begun in us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
