Philippians 1:6 For I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus comes.
Do you ever feel that you every time you take one step forward you end up taking two steps back? Yesterday, felt like that for me. It seemed that we started out with a certain plan for the day. We had a news crew that was supposed to be doing some interviews with us. The first thing that threw a kink in my plans was they were an hour early. Then I get told that I needed to get my truck ready because we were going to be escorting them out to one of our checkpoints. From there it went down hill fast. Now I am a semi-organized type of guy. (My wife calls me a type “A” personality.) When I don’t know the plan then I get frustrated. When the plan gets moved around and delayed 4 hours then I get really frustrated. So needless to say I was not in a great mood throughout the day yesterday.
What is interesting about all of this is that God has been working on me being more flexible. Yesterday, just wasn’t a good step forward for me. I am encouraged by today’s Bible verse though. I know that God will continue to work in me until Christ comes. I am confident that although I stumble a lot, Christ will not allow me to fall. He is there to help me all along the way.
