Good Morning Everyone,
Our theme for this month: “Healthy Living”
Our Bible verse for today: “I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6 (HCSB)
Our thought for today: “God is doing something good in your life.”
So, have you begun making some needed changes in your life? Have you set some goals and have you developed a plan to help you achieve those goals? More importantly, have you done so prayerfully, seeking God’s will and guidance? If so, then Philippians 1:6 is a promise you can claim. God has started a good work in you and He will do His part to help you continue it to completion.
But wait, it’s not just God who is at work in this. You have a role to play too. As we already know, we have to seek God’s guidance to know the areas He wants us to improve in; then we need His help to develop a good plan for walking it out; and then we have to put forth the effort to actually do it.
So it could be that while you have perfect confidence in God to do His part, you may not be so sure of yourself. Maybe you have doubts whether or not you can sustain it. Well, no worries. God has you covered there too. Remember, He wants these changes in you even more than you do. It is His desire for you to be the best “you” you can be. And He is fully aware of your weaknesses. So here are two more promises you can claim, and which should give you hope and strength:
“I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13. God will empower you to do whatever it is He has called you to do. So in your moments of doubt and weakness call to Him and ask for His help. He will give it to you.
“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13
So be encouraged! God is up to something good in your life and He will help you to achieve it.
God Bless,
