Thought for the Day
Philippians 1:6 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:
Three times in this chapter Paul mentions "confidence". Why is this. What made him so confident even in the midst of hardship and deprivation while in prison? It was because the object of his faith was not himself or his circumstances, but in the Lord. It was the Lord who "began" the good work of salvation in us and it is the Lord who will "perform" or complete it until Jesus comes. This is the confidence of every child of God that our heavenly Father never sleeps or takes a vacation. He is at it 24-7 accomplishing his purposes in us for His glory and our good.
Application
Whatever that difficulty is that is staring you in the face today, remember the Lord is still at work in you and will be faithful to finish it! Give Him praise and reintroduce yourself to His goodness and care for you.
