The work is His
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”Philippians 1:6
Reflection
You are not responsible for finishing in yourself the work God began. He starts and He concludes. Your part is to cooperate — not to finish alone. Today, lighten the burden of self-improvement. Let God work at His pace inside you.
Prayer
Father, I trust that You will finish what You began. I don't give up, but I rest. Amen.
Put it into practice
Instead of demanding perfection of yourself today, thank God for working in you and take a step of obedience.
To reflect on
Have you tried to transform yourself alone or cooperated with the work God does in you?
