The Unfinished Masterpiece
God’s creative power is awe-inspiring. In just six days, He brought the entire universe into existence. But His work didn’t stop there. Through His sustaining word, He continues to hold everything together.
A Work in Progress
However, there’s another aspect of God’s creative power that’s often overlooked. He’s not just sustaining the world; He’s also actively at work in each of our lives. As Philippians 1:6 reminds us, “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” This verse is a powerful reminder that God’s work in us is ongoing, and it won’t be complete until Jesus returns.
Evidence of God’s Hand
When we look back on our lives, we can see evidence of God’s hand at work. We may not always feel His presence, but when we reflect on the pivotal moments that shaped us, we can see His fingerprints and His grace guiding us to where we are today.
A Prayer for Greater Awareness
As we seek to live out God’s will and bring glory to Him, let’s pray for a deeper awareness of His presence in our lives. Here’s a prayer to get us started:
“Dear Father, thank you for being at work in my life. I confess that sometimes you seem distant, but when I look back on the crucial moments that shaped me, I see your fingerprints and your grace leading me to where I am today. Please make your presence more powerfully known in my life as I seek your will and live to your glory. Through Jesus, I pray. Amen.”
May this prayer inspire us to trust in God’s ongoing work in our lives and to seek His guidance and presence as we journey towards completion.
