“I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].” Philippians 1:6
Every Sunday we receive a powerful reminder of not only Jesus' sacrifice on a cross but also the immeasurable lengths that our Heavenly Father will go for a relationship with us.
You have chosen to be a part of this 30 days for a reason....
- Maybe you have been a Christian for a long time.
- Maybe you just surrendered your life to Jesus recently.
Either way, we all find ourselves facing the reality that life comes with limited guarantees. But God's Redemptive Plan states in John 16:33, Jesus said, “In this world, you will have troubles; but take heart, I have overcome the world.” 1 John 4:4 also says, "...He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."
What these scriptures are saying is that comfort on this earth isn’t always guaranteed. But part of God's plan for us that we must have confidence in is the details of the journey aren’t always certain. But He assured us that even though life may take us by surprise at times, we can trust Him to give us the strength, grace, and joy needed along the way. He is more powerful than any circumstance.
DON'T FORGET WHO YOU ARE and WHO YOU ARE BECOMING....
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9
We can be confident that He is still working miracles, still moving mountains, and still fighting our battles. He is still forgiving, healing, saving, working even where our fleshly eye can't see. He is not finished yet!

PRAYER
Thank You, Heavenly Father, in Jesus we trust we have redemption through the blood of Christ Jesus our Lord and the forgiveness of all our sins, in accordance with the riches of Your grace. You have called us to be in relationship with you. I know who I am because of you. I know what the plans are for my life because of the cross. Your word details the sacrifice, love and will for my life. Thank you Jesus!
Lord, I know that I am forever redeemed for which I praise Your holy name, but I now ask that You would help me to fly to You, to confess any sin or wrongdoing so that I may resume sweet fellowship with the Father, for You have promised believers that if we confess our sins You are always faithful to forgive us and cleanse us. I pray that day by day I may be washed with the Word so that I become more and more like Jesus and less and less like the person I used to be.
In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen!
