Complete the Work

You will do everything you have promised; Lord, your love is eternal. Complete the work that you have begun. Psalm 138:8

Reoccurring themes usually get my attention. Today is another one of those days. The devotional I am reading from Paul David Tripp talked about how at times we get comfortable in His grace. Things are good so we don’t press in. I feel like I go through phases of pressing in intentionally. I know there is more that God has for me. I acknowledge His many blessings. It is also easy to get comfortable with where I am at, despite the current struggle with setting up businesses.

He wants to complete the work He began in my life but that also requires that I press into the process. Yesterday, I realized that I also have not been pressing into the emotional work that I need to do to go deeper with God. I want others to do it but as long as I compartmentalize. I have done it so long, I think things are fine. Yet, there are hidden doors that I need to allow God to reveal to me.. Only then can I allow Him to do everything He has promised in my life. I have a vision where He’s taking me, but I am also sure it is a mere glimpse. I don’t know what it will take for me to get there, but He does His love will see me through from what He has promised in completion.

Prayer – Lord thank You for the Scripture as a reminder that You want to continue the work You have begun in me and that there are many promises You have for me. I recognize that means I need to press into Your process, to surrender every area of my live. I need to allow Your love and grace to flood those areas where there are still hurts and hang-ups. I love You Lord and I want to surrender every area of my life to You. I want to give up my perceived control, let go of the idea that I have to be perfect and just follow Your lead.
