A Work in Progress

I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. —Philippians 1:6

You can count on God to never fail you. He knows you’re weak. Remember His past faithfulness and then believe that He’ll provide all you need when you need it.

In moments when you sin and are discouraged, rather than allowing it to condemn you, consider it evidence that the Holy Spirit is at work in your heart. Imagine where you’d be if the opposite were true:

• If sin hardened your heart (Heb. 3:13).
• If sin clouded your ability to see it’s hurting you (2 Cor. 4:4).
• If sin deadened the sting of guilt until the situation hardly felt wrong (1 Tim. 4:2).

If God is drawing attention to areas of your life that need to be surrendered to Him, take it as a call to turn from things that lead you from Him. Praise God that He is committed to your growth and holiness, shaping you to be more like His Son rather than shaming you.
