Philippians 1:6
"And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."
Paul was very optimistic and confident of what God can do in the lives of the Philippians, as an individual and the Church, in return, for their services to God and joining him as business partners of the gospel since the day they believed in Christ Jesus. He prayed and assured them that the 'good work' of salvation that God began in them will be perfected until Christ return. Paul was confidence to say this because he knew that whatever God begins he finishes it.
Paul is speaking to believers today that the good work of justification, sanctification, and glorification that God has began in us will be a continuous process in Him and in sharing the gospel with others. This is the confidence we have in Him, that God who has been sustaining us will definitely keep us until the very end.
Therefore, we do not need to be discouraged of whatever we do now that is not fruitful or not coming forth as we want it. Faithful is our God who will surely perfect whatever he begins. Be focused, press on, and be hopeful that all you do for the gospel will not be in vain. Amen
This is what the Lord Almighty says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.”
Zechariah 8:19
““Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘The fast of the fourth month, The fast of the fifth, The fast of the seventh, And the fast of the tenth, Shall be joy and gladness and cheerful feasts For the house of Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.’”
Our God is awesome! He does his things in a wonderful and unquestionable way. No one can fathom His wondrous deeds. He specializes in turning despair into abundance, ashes into beauty, horrible to incredible, sadness into joy and wories intoto peace.
That is exactly what God promised His people, turning their mourning into joy and gladness. These people were confronted with hopelessness, weeping and fasting, serving and suffering in a foreign land. But the Lord of restoration came to their rescue and turned their fasts into a feast, a happy festival. What is God telling you? Your fasts regardless of number of days, months, and years shall become joyful and glad occasions in this tenth month in Jesus name.
Amen
