Be confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

If you’re like me, you’re notorious for starting projects and losing time or interest before completing them. 

Something more important or urgent steals away our finite attention until our best intention becomes just another piece of unfinished business we promise ourselves to complete someday. 

Thank God—literally—your salvation is not something He loses interest in because of your lack of participation. 

Once begun by heartful profession of faith, it lands you a place in the center of God’s workbench where you are always worked on even when it doesn’t feel like it. 

This fact usurps your feelings.

Jesus is the completer and finisher of our faith.

But when you reassume a more active role, the progress is evident.

Be confident. He’s not finished with you yet.

In the words of a song by new musical artists Caleb & John:

He’s not done with me

He’s not done with you

No matter what you’re goin through 

Our hope is in 

An empty tomb

And a God who’s still not in it.
