And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6
Under construction or flip this life are just two phrases that describe my life in this verse. Praise Jesus that what I am today is not the finished product! (And Everyone says …. AMEN). The truth is, I am still in the refining process. In this process God is refining my character and building my integrity through the time I spend with Him. These aren’t the only things God is flipping in my life. He’s also growing and stretching my faith, purifying my thoughts and actions, changing the way I think and talk, and I am starting to reveal on the outside what He has been doing on the inside. I am thankful for the transformation that has already taken place, but I look forward to the person I am becoming.
Father, thank you for you patient work in my life. I know there are days that the process seems slow and takes longer than it should, but in spite of my shortcomings, lack of discipline/commitment, and plain out rebellion you still patiently continue to shape me into the image of you Son, Jesus Christ. Today help me allow you to work on the difficult areas that need to be refined in-order to be more like Jesus!
When you read Philippians 1 what speaks to you?
