"God has a perfect plan for your life!" We have all heard that phrase, but I do not think many of us really believe it. Maybe it is the word "perfect" that troubles us. For most of us, perfection is not even remotely involved.
Perfection seems impossible. And guess what? It is!
God's plan is not perfect because we are perfect. The plan is perfect because God is the One who designed it. The perfection comes from Him and Him alone. He knows us better than we know ourselves, and He has designed and set in to action a plan specifically engineered for our lives.
Paul tells us in Philippians 1:6 that God saved us and started a good work in us, and His work in us will come to full completion.
As we think about God at work in us, we must remind ourselves that as imperfect as we are, God is perfection. Nothing we can ever do will be good enough to satisfy God's perfection. Only Jesus, the Perfect One, is good enough. And because we are in Christ, God's perfect plan is possible for us!
Prayer starter: Dear Lord, I know that I am not perfect, but thankfully Your plan for me depends on Your perfection, not mine. Thank You so much for developing a good work within me, I trust You to complete it.
Philippians 1:6
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry iy on yo completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
