“God’s Work”

Philippians 1:6
For I am confident of this very thing,
that He who began a good work in you
will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. (NASB)

The apostle Paul is writing with authority knowing absolutely that with the Spirit of God living in our hearts, no matter what our struggles may be, that our sanctification will continue to change us into the kind of godly people that we are called to be until that time when we are taken up to be with the LORD. Although we have the Holy Spirit guiding and revealing God’s Truth for us, there are some things that we must do ourselves in order for God’s good works to progress. We must first begin to develop a loving relationship with Him through prayer, meditation, and obedience. When we are faithful in doing these things the LORD will work miraculously in our lives giving us godly insight, confidence, and the power to overcome our sinful natures (1 Corinthians 10:13), one step at a time. God does not expect anyone to change overnight, my friends, because He knows us a whole lot better than we know ourselves, because the reality is; He did personally created each one of us (Psalm 33:13, 15). Once I began drawing closer to God, the more I began to trust Him with my life. And the more I trusted Him with my life, the more I began to rely on Him. But with that said, my life has not necessarily become easier, and my relationship with Him does not always go as smoothly as I would like. But I can truthfully say that the more time I spend with Him and the more time I spend in His Word, the more I am discovering that His ways are always right and always best. He teaches us hard headed and hard hearted people through our mistakes and our mistakes are many! And as we work through our mistakes, we not only grow in our knowledge of the LORD, but along with His wisdom He gives us both the courage and the strength to live godly lives with heavenly rewards (2 Timothy 4:18).

God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted
beyond what you are able, but with the temptation
will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. (NASB)

Psalm 33:13, 15
The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. (NKJV)

and bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom. (NASB)
