And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
 
This scripture gives us a simple yet profound truth about the character and nature of God. Even when we are acutely aware of our sin and failure, God assures us that He will stay with us and complete the sanctifying, relationship-building work He has begun in us.
 
He is able to do this!
 
While praying for a young pregnant woman, a Nigerian pastor shared this truth in a different context. He declared, God is able to complete what He begins—He who created new life in the womb is able to complete any process He begins.
 
This raises some lingering faith questions for us to ponder—
 
Do you really believe God is able to bring about His will and plans that are not yet complete?
 
Will you stand with Him now on this earth, in faith for all He desires to complete?
 
All throughout scripture we see the truth that God is able to complete what He has begun. You may be overwhelmed or preoccupied when it comes to our world, our nation, your family or your own life, but God is not!
 
Whatever He has started, He is able to bring to perfect completion.
 
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom. Isaiah 40:28
 
 
What has God begun in your life? Your family?
 
What word has He given to you?
 
Where is there a blessing He has started?
 
What has He started in your church, in your city, state and nation?
 
 
Declare and stand in agreement with the Lord. He is able to complete what He has begun.
