Philippians 1:6 [Amplified Bible] And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
I think most of us are familiar with this word "work in progress" especially in our country. Many times we see this on the road as a sign board. Yes; this is the way our heavenly father looks at each one of us. “He is always working in and through our lives to makes us what we ought to be".
God's ultimate aim for each one of us, that we would become more and more like Jesus. His presence and His character will be reflected in our day to day life. God may be dealing with your finance, anger, thinking, personality, and attitude, etc. I don’t know what is God up to you today but I know that He still working on you and me. We may be in different stages in our pilgrimage but never give up! God is still working on you to make you what you ought to be.
There is an old Sunday school song that speaks to this truth. It goes something like this:
CHORUS:
He's still working on me,
To make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and the stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be,
He's still workin' on me!
VERSE 1:
There really ought to be a sign upon my heart,
"Don't judge me yet, there's an unfinished part."
But I'll be perfect, just according to His plan,
Fashioned by the Master's loving hand.
You see, none of us has arrived yet. We are all still works in progress. I am glad today that I am not what I used to be and that I am not what will be when He gets through with me some day. As we travel in our pilgrimage, we are mere the clay in the hand of God. He is working on us now, and He has great plans for us in eternity.
Do not judge by seeing a fellow believer as we don’t know where he is in this journey and How God is working in his life? God is working in each one of our lives but it based on the individual.
He is still working on us! And, He will continue to work until we reach @ home with our heavenly father. Someday, God will finish His work in us.
Heb 13:5 God will never leave you nor forsake you. God is working and will continue to work in your life.
