God Isn't Finished
Philippians 1:3-6
Imagine that today is bread-making day. It starts with a little yeast and warm water dissolved in a bowl. Cups of flour and spoonfuls of salt are gently mixed in. It's a mess on the counter until the kneading process blends everything together. Finally, a lump of dough is carefully turned into a bowl and set aside to rise. It doesn't look like much ... but with time and patience, that lump of dough will expand until it becomes a loaf of tasty goodness. The promise that something beautiful will come from an unfinished "mess" isn't limited to bread dough. Paul writes that God "who began a good work in you will be faithful to bring it to completeness." The truth is, God isn't finished with any of us ... thank goodness. But it takes patience, faith and confidence to trust that wherever you find yourself—even if it feels like a mess—is not your finished destination. Thank you for working in my life, Lord, and promising to bring forth something good from my messes. Amen. Shelley Cunningham Philippians 1:3-6 (NRSV) 3 I thank my God every time I remember you, 4 constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, 5 because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.
