I don’t know about you, but when it comes to doing projects, I am hard pressed to do them all. The “honey do list” seems unending. Projects around the home either at some point get finished or more than likely, go on the “another day list.”
Thankfully, God is not like man. If He starts something, He completes it. This is true throughout the Bible. One example is the promise to Abraham, who was fatherless at 75 and yet God promised him that his seed would number as the stars of heaven. God made it happen! A greater example is the promise of a redeemer in Genesis 3:15. It took thousands of years, but God gave us our redeemer in Jesus Christ.
Psalms 89:34: My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Our recognition of God’s faithfulness to finish ALL His projects and promises, gives us confidence, boldness and assurance to trust Him in all things. We dare not take our mistrust of man and place it on God. He ALWAYS finishes everything He starts.
Psalms 62:5-8: My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
What does this mean for us as born again believers? Our Heavenly Father has called us to His family with a purpose in mind. We are very special to Him. The work He has started in us via the holy spirit is magnificent, which means He will be finishing what He started in us.
Philppians 1:3-6: I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
God is going to finish what He purposed long ago to have a loving, eternal family. And you are a monumental part of it. Christ is coming back soon and that is what really matters. As a result, we can live our life today, experiencing His love, deliverance, healing and power. We can boldly depend on Him. We can trust in Him and His Word. Walk in victory believing Him and exercising your sonship rights knowing that He finishes what He starts!
Agape,
