God Will Carry Out This Good Work

Scripture: Philippians 1: [6] being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Observation: I wish I was more confident and would not worry the way I do. This scripture tells me that God will carry out the good work he begun in me. Why then do I try so hard to do it myself? I know God does have a good work and will use me if I let him, to fulfill the purpose of spreading the gospel using me.

Application: Let God take charge and realize that is the only way my purpose will be completed. I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me and apart from God I can do nothing.

Prayer: My Lord forgive your servant for the arrogance of believing I can do things through my own power. Teach me how to pray to you that I may hear your voice and be guided by your love. Work through me to accomplish the purpose you have created me for.
