God will finish what he started in you !
Search the Scriptures
I am convinced that he who began this good work in you will continue it to its end, until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1.6 Segond Version 21
I would like to remind you that God is a "finisher" ! Someone who always finishes what he starts. The Lord does not start anything without finishing it. This is a powerful quality of the God we believe in! He is the beginning and the end, because he knows the end before the beginning. Like a wise architect who plans a house before construction begins, God already sees you as you should be.
In addition to being the architect, God is also the builder ! He has the means and the capacities necessary to build the house that you are for him. He knows how to sustain and build the things he started.
Trust him, have faith in his ability to transform you. He has begun a wonderful work in you. Maybe you didn't fully understand it ? Maybe you haven't fully understood it yet ? or maybe you are not happy with who you are right now. Do not be discouraged : he will make you what he intended you to be. He just needs you to believe him !
So do not doubt, only believe! God will finish what he started in you ! He won't let you go ! Trust him and you will become the fruit of his marvelous promises ! God is a "finisher" !
Listen the voice of God
Are you convinced that, even if you don't see it, God is working in you ? Take the time to meditate on the verse of the day in order to receive what God says in connection with this theme.
God always finishes what he started and can carry out whatever he wants to do in you, even if it may take time. Here's how you can pray so that you don't become discouraged : "Lord, help me to have your gaze on situations and on myself, so that I fully understand that you are acting, even if I do not see it yet. Do give me the grace to believe in your abilities and in your love."
Praise God
God is the alpha and the omega, that is to say the beginning and the end of everything. He goes to the end of what he undertakes and does not leave what he has built without supporting and taking care of it. For this, you can praise him and give him all your gratitude ! Sing for him at the top of your voice, with all your heart !
Act today
In Philippians 1:6, Paul states that he is convinced that God always finishes what he begins. What do you think made him think that ? Certainly an intimate and authentic knowledge of his God, and also all that he could see or hear. By taking ownership of the word and spending time with God in intimacy, you can grow in that confidence too.
Honor the Lord
Our journey for the day ends. Let us pray together to honor our God.
"Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and your determination to follow through with everything you do. Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory, amen !"
