Philippians 1:6, “being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;”
This has always been a very encouraging verse for me over the years.
One thing that we have to constantly remind ourselves of is the fact that if God is the one who has begun the great work of salvation in us, which he has, then He is the one who will finish it.
God never starts something that He doesn’t finish. What we need to do is place our full trust and confidence in Him and His power. So often we carry all of the weight and responsibility for bringing the plans and purposes of God to pass in our lives upon ourselves. This passage reminds us that God has begun the work and He will be the one who will complete it. This gives us permission to stop worrying so much.
All we have to do is trust God, be obedient to Him, be patient in the process, and enjoy the ride.
