Joy in Your Journey

Have you ever started a project and left it half-finished? We all have. But guess what? God never leaves His projects incomplete, especially with anything related to you.

In his letter, Paul is reassuring the Philippians—and us—that God is fully committed to our spiritual growth. God started a "good work" in you, and He will see it through to the end. His follow-through is perfect.

Here’s what makes this journey so distinct. God’s not conducting a cosmic self-help seminar to simply make us the “best version of ourselves.” Instead, His “good work” in us is to make us more like Christ—which far exceeds anything we can do in our own effort.

Knowing this brings rest and peace to our soul that we’re not doing life alone. The Creator of the Universe is actively shaping, guiding, and refining you. He's not a hobbyist, but the Master! He’s in the business of creating masterpieces, fit for His glory.

So, why worry? Why let doubts, fears, and setbacks steal your joy? Trust in His plan. He’s not done with you yet—and He always finishes what He starts! Find joy in the journey today, not just in the destination. If Paul did, we can too.

As you engage with God’s word:

● What is God saying to you?

● What does it mean to you?

● What action step do you need to take?

After you reflect on these questions, bring everything to God in prayer.
