God’s Finishing Power

“Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God’s Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears” Philippians 1:3-6 The Message Bible.

Do you every wonder if you will be able to finish what has been begun in you?

I have good news for you today. Jesus is both the author and the finisher of your faith.  You and I can be confident in the Goodness of God. You don’t have to have even a single doubt in your mind.  God is the One who began a good work in you. He is the One who will complete it.

I know that when God spoke to Wayne and I about adopting our sons, we knew that it was a risk. Our oldest son was already 12 years old when we adopted him and his brother was 8.  They had lived a long time in the orphanage and had experienced many painful things.  Wayne and I needed to put our confidence in God Himself who had called us to adopt. He is the One who is working in our sons life and drawing them to Himself.  He has a plan for each of their lives and He is the one who will fulfill His plan…

Put your hope in God’s finishing power. He is the One who is able to great things through His overcoming power.
