THE SEED
“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;” Philippians 1: 6 (NKJV)
God will always finish what He has started. No matter how slow He appears to be moving. He does not give up on what He has set out to do. And He will always get what He wants, in the end. No matter how long it takes. Since this is so, how come this does not always appear to be true in our observation? Well, the truth is, there is more than one factor in the success of our lives. God has His part to play. And He can never fail. But we also have our part to play. And that is where our problems begin; for we are not as reliable, being human. We can cause delays by not submitting and walking in obedience. The children of Israel took 11 days to walk from Mount Sinai, just after they crossed the Red Sea, to KadeshBarnea: the border of the Promised Land. But crossing into the Promise land took 40 more years, because of disobedience and unbelief (Deut. 1: 2 & 3). We can delay matters unnecessarily by insisting on doing things our way and resisting the wisdom of God. Instead of acting this way, let us contemplate the faithfulness of God. He never fails. He will never fail!, so let us all make that conscious effort to trust His process in our lives and allow God to complete what He has started. The only person that can stop Him is you, submit to God afresh today.
BIBLE READING: Deuteronomy 1:1-8
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I submit myself anew to You today. Do what only You can do in Jesus name. Amen.
