#soap # Philippians 01 ## Title: God Finishes What He Starts ## Scripture: (Philippians 1:6) “For I am sure of this very thing, that the one who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” (NET) ## Observation: It’s not always very hard to start something. There’s excitement about the promised reward it offers such as losing weight, managing time better, getting to a new position in life, etc. The beginning is fun. The journey is hard. Once the new wears off, it is easy to forget why we are going somewhere and begin to resent the journey. However, God doesn’t do this. He is interested in the long game. His intentions extend even past this life and into eternity. He never gives up on us and He never grows weary of the process. He will finish what He starts. ## Application: Allow God to do His perfect work in you and stay faithful to His process of growing you into something completely free, whole, and mature. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being so faithful.
