Today's Good News

04/24           Philippians 1:6

“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.”

Key Points:

  1. God is the Source of Spiritual Growth – We do not change ourselves (Titus 3:5).
  2. Growth is a Process, Not Instant – Maturity takes time (Isaiah 64:8).
  3. God’s Work in Us Will Not Fail – He finishes what He starts (Romans 8:29).
  4. Christ is the Goal of Our Growth – The process leads us to be like Him (Ephesians 4:13).

FINISH


A work begun, a seed now planted,
A path that only You can see,
Not yet whole, not yet complete,
Yet Your hand is guiding me.


Through the trials, through the waiting,
Through the seasons yet unknown,
Still You shape, still You mold,
Still You lead me home.


No fear remains, no doubt can stand,
For what You start will surely last,
The hands that hold the universe,
Hold my life secure.


Until the day the work is done,
Until my faith is turned to sight,
I will trust, I will yield,
For You are faithful still.


Finish the work, complete the plan,
Let my life reflect Your grace,
Not by might, not by strength,
But by the love that never fades.
