He Isn't Finished Yet
Saturday, July 25
Philippians 1:6 (NLT)
“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”
Devotion
One of the lessons in the movie ‘Song Sung Blue’ is that life doesn't always follow the script we imagined. Dreams are interrupted, relationships are tested, and unexpected hardships can make us question whether the best days are behind us. Yet even in the middle of disappointment, God is still writing the story.
Philippians 1:6 reminds us that when God starts something, He never abandons it halfway through. We may look at our lives and see unfinished chapters, broken dreams, or seasons that feel incomplete, but God sees the finished masterpiece. What feels delayed to us is often God faithfully working behind the scenes.
Sometimes we expect God to move in dramatic ways, but more often He works through the ordinary moments—teaching us perseverance, growing our faith, restoring our hope, and shaping our character. Every trial, every victory, and every waiting season becomes part of His greater purpose.
Just as Pastor Franklin reminded us on Sunday, beauty can still emerge from broken places, God specializes in bringing hope out of hardship. He doesn't discard what feels broken; He redeems it. He doesn't stop working because life becomes messy. His grace continues to mold us until His work is complete.
If you've been wondering whether God has forgotten you or whether your story is beyond repair, remember this promise: the Author of your faith is still writing. The chapter you're in is not the end of the story. God is still at work, and He always finishes what He starts.
Today's Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for never giving up on me. Even when I can't see what You're doing, help me trust that You are faithfully working in every part of my life. Give me confidence to believe that what You have begun, You will complete. Strengthen my faith to keep following You, one step at a time. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
