Philippians 1:6, “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
There may be times in your life when things seem difficult. This may be caused by family problems, health problems, financial problems, or possibly having too much to do and not enough time to do it. Whatever the reason – you may feel like giving up. But, it is wonderful to know that God never gives up on you. He is always there doing a good work in your life. This promise has no expiration time – it never becomes outdated. God says He will be there working in your life all the way up to the time that He calls you home or Jesus comes again.
Our lives can take many paths after we get saved. This often depends on our motivation and dedication to following God. God has given us a free will to choose our course of action in life.
Once you are born again into God’s family you become His child. The Holy Spirit enters your life and is always present to lead you and guide you — AND — to convict and chastise you when you choose to go your own way and not God’s. Just remember if you choose to live contrary to God’s ways and leading you will have no peace and no happiness.
God is telling you that at the moment of salvation, He began a good work in you and He will continue that work. You can always be assured that He is there for you at any stage of your Christian life. You may not always be what you ought to be, and you may not always be living the way you ought to live – but God is always there working. Don’t waste your time (or your life) — surrender to God and let Him do the good work that He desires to do in your life!
Remember, you are never alone. God is always there. Isn’t it wonderful that God doesn’t give up on us?
