Scripture: Philippians 1:6 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: When God begins a good work in us (when we commit our lives to Christ), it will be carried on to completion. Not might be, but will be. This is a definite.
Observation: When God begins a good work in us (when we commit our lives to Christ), it will be carried on to completion. Not might be, but will be. This is a definite.
Application: Since I know in my heart and in what I have already experienced, God has started a good work in me. His word says it will be carried to completion. I need to believe that and claim that good work he has begun in me. With reference to my healthy balanced life, I know God is at work and I need to continue to rely 100% on God and not Helen for this work in me. I need to embrace the pruning that is accompanied with good work.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I do not deserve the work you have done in my life. I make mistakes all day long and yet you continue to prosper and produce fruit. I understand that the fruit requires much pruning. Help me Lord to know when I am relying on me and not you. Help me Lord, to embrace the pruning. Lord, I want your will in my life. Help me to be confident in the work you have begun in me. I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for all the trials and the fruit. Thank you Lord. Amen.
