GOD’S TRANSFORMING WORK IN US
Philippians 1:3-6
He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.—Philippians 1:6
When we set out on a new journey or season, it can be easy to feel discouraged, as if the process of change is taking too long or the work isn’t happening quickly enough. Sometimes we wonder if the growth we desire in our lives will ever truly take place.
I’ve been there—often questioning if I would ever truly grow past certain struggles. But Philippians 1:6 is a reminder that God is not finished with us yet. He began a good work in us, and he is faithful to complete it.
This reminds me of a time in my life when I was overwhelmed by all the changes that I felt were needed in my life. I tried to rush things, but the harder I pushed, the more frustrated I became. It was during those moments of struggle that God gently reminded me that he is the one doing the work, not me. God’s timing is perfect, and he works in ways that I can’t always see or understand.
Take comfort in knowing that God is working in you. Your transformation might not happen overnight, but God will complete the good work he has started in you. Trust in his process and know that, as you walk with him, you will become the person he created you to be.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank you for the work you are doing in me. Help me to trust your timing and to believe that you are faithful to complete what you have started. Amen.
