His Project

Many years ago, Mr. Bill and the boys took on the “project” of replacing the screen on the porch. The work-in-progress was a mess! Besides gaping holes where the old screen was, outside trim work was removed. I learned a special appreciation for that protective screen, because its absence the porch became a fly-way for all sorts of buzzing and flapping things. I was most pleased when that “project” was complete!

Do you know every Believer is a work-in-progress? Philippians 1:6 tells us what God began as a good work in our lives He is faithful to complete it. Mr. Bill's porch project was slowed down by some health and time constraints, and likewise God's work in our lives is slowed down, too. Our attitudes, pride, stubbornness, and rebellion get in the way of God's progress in making us more like Christ. Imagine trying to complete a task with that lack of cooperation! God wants to show Himself off in how we live because, ". . .we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works .. " (Ephesians 2:10) Consider what is hindering God from doing His Best Work in your lives. He is serious about His project of making us more like Himself!
