He's Still Working on Me
by Brooke Cason
Scripture Reading: Philippians 1:6
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
This title was preached by Pastor George Robinson at East Heflin Baptist Church in Heflin, AL. It stirred up a devotional from some of his thoughts.
This verse is personal. Paul is telling us that "if we are born again believers" then we have a promise that God will continue to perform a GOOD WORK in ME! The Lord knows I need continuous work in my Christian walk. I fight my flesh daily. I have a constant warfare within me because I have an enemy.
Satan is constantly seeking to destroy us and to destroy our testimony. He knows our weaknesses and that's the area he begins his attack. He creeps in slowly trying to distract us. If he's successful, then our testimony can be hurt, but he can't steal what God has freely given to us!
I have purposed in my heart to believe that our Scripture text was written to prove to us that God is working on us every moment of every day. If we'll just stay focused on Him and strive to be pleasing to Him, He'll mold us and make us what He wants us to be.
He's still working on me, to make me what I ought to be
It took Him just a week to make the moon and the starts
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be
He's still working on me
He has to be a PATIENT God to put up with me. He knew what kind of person I was when He called me to salvation. He knew what kind of trouble I'd be, what sins I'd commit, how often I'd question Him and He still chose me to be His child and servant! I do realize I'm unworthy of His unconditional love, but I praise Him for His continuous work in my life.
MY PRAYER: Lord, mold me and make me into what I ought to be for Your Kingdom work.

Y'all mean the world to us and I thank u for what y'all do. Love ya.
Brooke, I was actually reading one of the other devotions and was going to comment and when I hit enter this one popped up......He knows what we need when we need it...........I often wonder why he bothers with me.....but then I know that he must love me despite all my faults....because he knew them before he saved me....He has showed me sooo much in the last few years and daily he continues to reveal more to me however often i still try to do things on my own, only to make it worse.....this is when he startes all over on the potters wheel molding me once again......thanks for being obedient to the Lord and his work he has for you....Love ya
