Manna for Your Morning

being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; — Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) As we submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit at work in us, we can be certain that God will continue to perfect that good work and bring it to full completion. The Message version says, He will “keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish.” “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV).

I’m convinced that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it through to completion on the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 (GW) We were created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:10). Our heavenly Father began a good work in you, and He is faithful to carry it through to completion. For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose (Philippians 2:13). Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9).
