Morning Devotional:
Our cooler weather had me digging through one of my closets to find my stash of blankets. In a plastic tote I found a cream colored crocheted afghan. I made it many years ago but this afghan had just one problem. I never finished it. I started the afghan when I was just learning how to crochet but I never learned how to complete the edging because I could never figure out how to create the required stitch. Frustrated, I stuffed the afghan in a bag and banished it to the closet where it has remained ever since, unfinished and unused.
There are days when I feel unfinished and left on the shelf by God. In those moments I wonder what He has in store for me, what His next move is in my life and what He has for me to learn. I wonder if I will ever be “finished.” In reality, we don’t have to worry about that at all, because God’s promise to us about the matter is very clear. In Philippians 1:6, Paul says this: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
If you’re worrying about God finishing you, He will. That’s guaranteed.
