I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
This is one the BEST promises in Scripture.
Let it sink in.
God is at work in us. We may not feel it. We may not see it.
And at times we might flat out disbelieve it. We may say to ourselves, “If God is at work in me, then why do I sometimes make such bad decisions? Why doesn’t he stop me!?! Why doesn’t he send of little alarms in my head to protect me!?!”
I know THAT feeling. I have asked THOSE questions.
The promise stands. Regardless of what we feel or believe. Fight against your gut in believing the promise is not true. Resist that thought.
It is true. God is at work in all of us. Every single day he is at work. Yes, we foolishly and sinfully rebel. Yet God is still at work in the midst of that. Yes, we may not see it or feel it, but trust that God is good and proactive and intentional and wise. Believe the promise. Thank God for the promise.
If you want to accelerate the promise dig deep and dig often into Scripture. God speaks to us supernaturally through the Bible. Read all of Philippians. Read it a couple of times a day. Read also Colossians, the book right after Philippians. Read also Ephesians, the book right before Philippians. And, of course, read Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. Reading Scripture is the best way to be a better, deeper, more holy man.
