                                                Concept so evasive

                                                So distant

                                                Still a promise

                                                Finished work

                                                Faith grown

                                                In weakness and even in disobedience

                                                It will too be finished

                                                By His hand

                                                By His design

                                                By His presence

Philippians 1:5-6, “..because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

Completion

Thank you, Lord, for this reminder that Your completion in and through each of us will come. Even if we do not know where or when or how. And we still might not ever realize it until we come into Your presence.

In the in-between silence, please give us courage and insight to listen and follow Your words and Your Spirit’s guidance. Despite our own weakness and disobedience.

We need Your strength and perspective for each day to help us recognize Your priorities. Regardless of the circumstances. To trust that all the stages of any work are in Your care.

Thank you for the hope of a finished work according to Your plan and Your design and in Your time.
