Follow Through and Finish Up!

“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

Suppose, like the servant of the Prophet in the Old Testament, we were given a momentary glimpse into the spiritual realm.

Suppose we had our eyes opened to be able to see what we cannot normally see.

I wonder what our eyes would spy?

What would your spiritual landscape look like?

Would it appear as many abandoned buildings that were half completed?

Would it be littered with the “I wishes” we so often start in the spirit but never finish?

Are we building a heritage of abandoned works or will we declare that, with God, we can do all things He has called us to do?

Don’t let your legacy be that of half-finished works, half-finished relationships and half-finished destinies.

Jesus last words on the cross were “It is finished”.

I wonder if I sometimes (too often) walk away prematurely from what God is doing in my life as if to cry out at that moment – “It is almost finished!”

Do we give up when we should be persevering?

Do we throw in the towel moments before the victory comes?

Take a lesson today from Philippians 1:6

God completes what He starts.

That includes the work He is doing in you!

Allow Him to work through you to complete what you have started for Him -

Follow through and finish up!
