Finish The Job Confidently
Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 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: (Philippians 1:1-6)
Thought For Today:
As a believer, you may face spiritual battles, which require a strong sense of confidence in your abilities to carry out the tasks assigned to you. Unfortunately, many Christians lack this confidence, making it difficult for them to serve the Lord effectively. However, as born-again believers, we have been given the power to overcome the enemy, as Jesus said, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Therefore, we ought to have unwavering confidence in our ability to do His will.
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven"(Luke 10:19-20).
The obstacles on the confidence course may seem daunting at first, but once tackled, they become a breeze. Similarly, Paul expressed his gratitude towards the church at Philippi, stating that he was confident that God would see through the good work He started in them. In the same vein, we should adopt the mindset of the Philippians and believe that God will complete what He started in us. Let us not give up or give in, and soon enough, we'll look back and say, "That was a piece of cake!"
