Philippians 1:6 (KJV)

6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.


When we start something new, we want to see it through. For example, a new years resolution or starting a new career, it's a confidence booster to achieve what we set our midns to.

This is the same heart that God has towards us. Many of us struggle with confidence because we place the burden and responsibility on ourselves.

Often times we fall short and feel down. What Paul is emphasizing here is powerful. Our confidence should come from God alone. It's not about grit, our own will-power, or capabilities. It's about God finishing the work he started in us. 🤯

When God begins a work in us, it’s not just a half-hearted effort. He sees it through completely! From the moment we accept Jesus, we are transformed and renewed.

God never quits, he’s working in us every single day, building upon the confidence of salvation.

We are God's masterpiece and we cannot fail. God is going to preach the gospel through you until Jesus comes back. Please believe this in your heart.
Even if only one soul gets saved, the heavens roar! If we think about this, confidence is the by-product. God has his hands on us, molding us, guiding us day in and day out to preach his precious gospel.

Knowing God’s committed to us gives us incredible peace.

We don’t have to stress about whether we’re good enough or if we’re doing enough. He sent the one (Jesus) who is more than enough. God’s at work in us through him.

It’s His power, not ours, that guarantees the salvation of everyone around us. Sometimes, we might feel like we’re not making progress. We mess up, we struggle, we face setbacks.

But this verse is our reminder that God is already working in us even when we can't see it. He’s faithful and we can trust in him. We have the almighty God with us, we do not need to feel discouraged. 

God is our confidence so when you’re feeling down or discouraged, remind yourself of these verses. Amen!
