Replace Worry with Confidence in God
“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." Philippians 1:6
Reflect
This scripture is huge! If you believe it to be true, how could it not change everything for you? If God began something in you, and God finishes what He starts, how could it be even conceivable that you will not end up in the most wonderful state of being imaginable?
Your future is locked in. What God started God will complete. Your sin, rebellion, failures? They will be forgiven, redeemed, re-formed, and used for building you and others into the people God has destined you and them to become.
Have more confidence in God than you have in yourself.
NOTE: Yes, there are those who will refuse to the bitter end to allow God to do his good work in them, but even they will find their refusal to have been used for the good of others in God’s great good world. And retrospectively they will find that they have chosen to allow the completion of God’s work in them to have been used only for others and to have missed out on it themselves.
