Rehearse the Good Work


“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





Are you confident of God’s continued good work in you?

Are there days when that trust wanes just a bit?

Let me offer you a confidence building exercise for those times.

Rehearse what God has brought you through.

Rehearse the blessings – as the old hymn says – name then one by one!

Rehearse the protection of God over your life through the years.

Ever faced an illness or sickness He has healed and brought you through – remember it.

How about struggles in relationships or in finances?

The Bible tells us that it is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord.

Maybe you find yourself in a season where that is not as easy to do.

Then recall His good work in you throughout your walk with Him.

We are much better at rehearsing the scenarios of trouble, pain and hurt.

Let’s turn that around and instead rehearse the victories, triumphs and blessings of the Lord.

We can be confident that God will finish His GOOD work in each of us!
