“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6
Philippians is another Book that I can sit and meditate on all day. There are so many Verses I could comment on, but this one stands out today. As brilliant and used by God as Paul was, his confidence was not in himself; It was in God! Just as he saw God’s sovereign hand open the door for the Gospel in Philippi (Read Acts 16:9-40), he also saw God continuing that work in them until the Day they would stand before Him in Glory. That is because he truly saw God as He really is: Sovereign LORD and Master over EVERYTHING! That helps when it comes to trusting in Someone other than yourself who happens to be GOD. And that is precisely why Paul could say this about the Philippian Believers!
The same holds true for us. If God took Cold, Dead, and Rebellious Hearts, that hated Him and His Law, and turned them into Warm, Live, and Obedient Ones, that Love Him and His Law, He will continue that same Work in US, until we appear before Him in Glory!
