GOD’S PERFECTING WORK

” 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

Even as followers of Jesus, you and I have never and will never be perfect while living in this world. We are all a work in progress. Sometimes our Lord allows us to go through trials and tribulations for our own sake. As troubles come our way, we are able to cultivate our faith and become even stronger in our Lord and Savior. Our faith in Jesus and his promises become more real to us because it is He who helps us through the fire. It is He who takes our hand and gives us hope as we go through our tribulations. The stronger our faith becomes the more we can handle. We are able to walk into situations and through situations knowing that our Lord is in control of our life. Without allowing us to go through troubles in our lives we will never grow our faith. This is all a process in God’s plan for us. We must endure through our faith in the Lord. If we do not, then the evil around us will overwhelm us and take control of our lives. We must keep our spiritual being in shape just as we must take care of our physical bodies. The Lord our God loves us. He wants us to become close to him. We live in his family, and he will continue to protect us and surround us with is love and strength if we just allow him to. PRAISE THE LORD THROUGH ALL SITUATIONS!
