“He who began a good work in you will continue it on to completion…”
Philippians 1:6
There’s nothing like being on a winning team. Each member trains harder, focuses sharper & achieves more simply because of the team’s success. Everything seems to be achieved quicker. Difficulties are conquered easier & there’s joy & happiness in the lives of everyone involved.
Today’s verse lets us know we’re on a winning team. From the time we gave our lives to Jesus He’s been working with us towards victory. Our verse explains that Jesus began the work, He’ll continue the work & He’s going to complete the work. But if we never allow Jesus to begin His work then we’ll never see Him complete it.
We’re all a work in progress. Jesus is working with each & every believer to deliver them to victory. But we must let Jesus into the difficult areas of our life to allow Him to begin & complete His work.
Every situation, difficulty or hardship we face in life will fit into one of these 3 areas:
- Jesus is beginning His work in it
- Jesus is continuing His Work in it
- Jesus is completing His work in it
Once we understand where it fits we can confidently leave it with Him until it’s finished.
This week let’s give the difficult areas of our life to Jesus. Allow Him to begin His Work in them. Let Him continue unhindered. Once Jesus has completed His work start giving thanks & praise to Him like never before. We’re on a winning team with Jesus. Let’s live life victoriously by allowing Him to begin, continue & complete His work in our lives this week.
