God of completion – Shilpa Dhinakaran

“being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6)
Dear friend, God’s promise for today is from Philippians 1:6, “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” This is such a beautiful verse isn’t it? The Lord says, “Don’t worry. Whatever I begin in your life I will carry it on till the end.” Many times we have seen how people in a race make sure they complete the race or the marathon they are running, even when they are tired and not able to compete. Even if it takes a long time they will complete. The Lord too says, “I am with you. I will complete whatever I start in your life.”

When does this promise start in your life? It has started ever since you were formed in your mother’s womb. God says, “I knew you ever since you were formed in your mother’s womb. I have started my work in your life since then and I will carry it on.” Everything is preplanned. The Bible says in Job 42:2, “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” Whatever the Lord has planned in your life, it will surely come to pass. Whatever blessing has to come in your life, it will surely come to pass. Nothing or no one can stop it from happening.
The only thing we have to do is surrender our lives to God. We have to tell Him, “Lord, take over my life. Take control over me and let everything happen according to your will.” Sometimes we feel that what we know is better than God’s thoughts for us. We will be telling God, “Lord I want this to happen. I want this mark in my exam. I want to do this next in my life.”  But the Lord says, “I know what’s best for you.” He will surely carry it on to completion. Thank God and believe this promise concerning your life.
Prayer:
Loving Father,

Thank You for the beautiful promise that You’ll carry Your purpose to completion in my life. I give my life into Your hands. I submit myself to Your will. Take over my life and be the head of my life. Let every blessing You have for me come to pass in my life. Let there be showers of blessing in my life.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
