God's Not Done!

Philippians 1:6 NIrV [6] God began a good work in you. And I am sure that he will carry it on until it is completed. That will be on the day Christ Jesus returns.

Psalms 138:8 NIV
The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.

Philippians 1:6 NIV
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Here's a reminder of a great theological truth: God is not done. We may look at our lives and question God’s plan and design, but we can rest assured that He is not finished with us yet!

We see this same point time and time again as we read the Bible. God wasn’t done when Joseph was in prison, when Jeremiah was in the pit, or when Jonah was in the fish. He wasn’t done when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace, or when Daniel was cast into the lion’s den. He wasn’t done when Pharaoh was oppressing the Israelites, when Haman was plotting against Mordecai, or when Saul was persecuting Christians. He wasn’t done when Sarah’s womb was barren, when Ruth was a widow, or when the Virgin Mary was told she would bear a son. He was not done when Naaman had leprosy, when Bartimaeus was blind, or when Lazarus was dead. He was not done when Noah built an ark, when Aaron made a golden calf, or when David took a census. 

And do not forget that He was not done when Jesus was rejected by his hometown, betrayed by Judas, deserted by his disciples, denied by Peter, tried by the Sanhedrin, condemned by Pilate, mocked by the soldiers, nailed to the cross, and buried in the tomb.

What more evidence do we need? God is not done with us. It does not matter where we are or where we have been—God is not done. Don’t merely look to the things that are temporary; look to the things that are unseen and eternal.

What will our lives look like when God fulfils His plans and finishes His work in us? We do not even have an idea of how great it will be. Our wildest imaginations and loftiest expectations fall short. Hope says, “I do not yet know what it will look like when that day comes, but I know that the day is coming—and it will be better than anything I can imagine.”

I can hardly wait. God is not finished. In Jesus’s name, press on and don’t lose heart.

Let the truth that ‘God is not done with you yet’ wash over you. What would you like to see God do in and with your life?
