Work In Progress

Philippians 1:6 NKJV: - “… being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”

     I am sure you have seen bumper stickers or plaques that proclaim – “Be patient… God hasn’t finished with me yet!”  This is true for all of us no matter how rooted in the Word or steeped in church activities we might be.  As they say, “God loves us just the way we are; but he loves us too much to leave us this way”. As followers of Christ we must constantly strive to follow his commandments and live according to his directives.  We must love, honor and cherish all that Jesus proclaimed as holy and in doing so we will be holy. God has a greater purpose for our lives than we most likely could ever really phantom.  When we worship God in spirit and in truth, we open ourselves up to be bombarded by his best and in doing so God will fix the areas that need attention and change the areas that need total renewal. 

     As we maneuver this life it is wonderful and reassuring to know that God is constantly monitoring our progress and lighting a path along our journey.  He wants us to succeed; to be in good health; to have peace that passes all understanding and to be an example to the world. 

     When you make mis-steps, mistakes and miscalculations; do not beat up on yourself too harshly.  God is fully aware of our shortcomings; what things tempt us; and the best ways to handle disappointments. He knows how to soothe our anxieties; and helps us to live through our inhibitions.  We are wonderfully and fearfully made and praise our Most High God that we are still a great work in progress.

    Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day. Don’t be distracted; stay focused on your purpose!  Be blessed!  Dr. JoAnn
