December 30 Thought for the day....complete the work


There is always so much on my plate, as I am sure there is on yours. The enemy often can not get a maturing Christians to fall away, but he will do his best to keep us distracted or busy, so we do not complete the work the Lord has for us. I heard this many years ago and have believed it since, "the enemy of best is good." I never want to settle for good when God wants my best. Paul makes it clear that if we are willing, God will make that happen. 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;"

We have two days until we start a new year. What do you have that has been left undone, spiritually? You might be thinking its impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Paul's word for "confident" here means "to be completely sure, to have an absolute conviction" that He is going to complete the work you started together at the beginning of the year.  Think for a moment, what had God begun to walk you through? If you are a willing vessel. If you are open to the Holy Spirit's guidance. You should, like Paul, have total confidence that He can and will complete that work in you.

He doesn't want you bringing last years work, garbage, limitations, or stuff into this year. His plan for the New Year is amazing, if you will allow Him to complete this year's work in you over the next two days.

Consider this promise, He began a good work in you and He will complete it! Your job; believe, agree, and allow Him to do it!

Start the New Year with a fresh start! Complete the work and look for the new coming your way!
