“Confident In His Work”
 
 
by Dona Hake
 
 
“God began doing a good work in you, and
I am ·sure [confident; persuaded] he will
continue it until it is ·finished
[completed; perfected] ·when Jesus Christ comes again
[ on the day of Christ Jesus;  
the final day of judgment and reward].”
Philippians 1:6 – EXB
 
 
That which our loving Creator and Lord has started in us is a wonderful work. We were fearfully and wonderfully made for specific assignments while we live in these bodies here on earth.
 
Our God is loving, faithful and relentless as He watches over us. When we set our hearts to run the race, and be pleasing to Him, He runs along side of us infusing us with the strength, needed for the moment. While others may not notice what He is doing in us, it matters not for God is steady at work. I love how the Voice translation has worded Philippians 1:6…
“I am confident that the Creator, who has begun such a great work among you, will not stop in mid-design but will keep perfecting you…”.
 
We are all a work in progress by the hands of a Creator that understands our weaknesses, When we mess up He does not give up…He will never stop for He has given us His wonderful grace to draw upon. His Word, His wisdom, His strength…all help us continue as He continues His work in us. He knows all of our tomorrows, and He knows the beginning from the end. Praise God He will not stop in mid-design as we continue to set our eyes on Him to finish this race!
These thoughts and meditations that I shared with you today were inspired by this

“I saw an angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.“
Michelangelo
Our loving God sees beautiful things and great potential. He sees gifts that we are not even aware of…they are for appointed times and purposes in our lives . Praise Him today for His wonderful work in you!
