[Discoveries] 06-30-08 God's work -- Philippians 1:6 Jubilee Bible

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*... being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good 
work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ. -- 
Philippians 1:6 Jubilee Bible*/

God is at work.

Sometimes it helps to stop and consider Who is working. This is God. He 
took you on, and He took me on knowing all our faults, all our false 
beliefs, all our apathy and stubbornness. Evidently, all the wrong 
inside us doesn't scare God away.

Years ago when my heart had grown cold toward the Lord, I wanted to come 
back, but I didn't know how. It was at this time that I rediscovered 
this verse. Every time I thought about how I had failed, I spoke this 
verse aloud. As time went on, I began to see that the Christian life 
wasn't about what a great guy I am. Instead, it's all about what a great 
Father God is. Am I lazy or proud or stubborn or rebellious? If I am, 
these things are secondary to something that is far more important: God 
is at work in me.

And God is at work in you.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
