DAILY BREAD…



Blessings to you TODAY! 

 

The Holy transformation...as believers IN Christ…

             
Philippians 1:6  “And I am CERTAIN…that GOD, who BEGAN the good work within you…WILL continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”


“Being confident”

Paul was certain that the God who launched a good work in the Philippians WOULD continue it. When God begins the work of salvation IN us...He will finish it!  God never starts anything that He cannot finish...when God begins a work IN us…He WILL see it through to completion! Amen

God will either work IN us or He will work ON us, but He WILL finish the job. Paul’s confidence was IN the capacity of GOD!  NOT in men.

Many people are bedeviled by the idea that God may lose control of their situation. But God will NOT give up on us. He will let us go about as far as a dog on a leash. When we run from the Lord and come to the end of our leash…we come to a terrible jerk.  Praise the Lord…“The Lord WILL perfect that which concerns me” (Psalm 138:8).


Prayer:  Father GOD…Today I receive your word in Philippians 1:6…that I may have the FULL Confidence IN Christ’s present work IN me today…

I can trust IN Jesus…to intercede for whatever trials I face…Lord God, I PRAISE your name…that you love and care for me to NEVER take your eyes off me…as your word says… “I am engraved upon your hands”…AMEN!  Help me to just be real with you….say it like it is and be authentic and honest about the trials in front of me…fill me with your Holy Peace, Patience, and deep Rest…as you do a work IN my life and bring it to Completion!  Amen   (Isaiah 49:15-18)
