I was recently reviewing a job posting for an open project
manager position at a local company, but instead of referring to the
traditional “project manager” job title, the posting used the terminology
“project finisher,” emphasizing the need for a candidate who can not only
manage a project, but bring it to completion.
As Christians, we follow the ultimate
project finisher – God! He specializes
in taking on difficult projects – conforming you and I into the image of His son
– and bringing them to completion. He
doesn’t leave anything half done. He
promises to finish what He started. Philippians
1:6 says “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.”
So, the next time you are tempted to become discouraged or
throw in the towel because of repeated failures and (what appears to be) slow
progress in your quest to think and act more like Jesus, keep your eyes fixed
on Him and remain unwavering in your belief that God is completing the good work He started in you.
After all, God
has a vested interest in completing the work He began in you, because He has
specific tasks He needs you to carry out here on earth. Ephesians 2:10 says “For you are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand so that you would walk in them.”
