Your Story—His Glory

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. –Philippians 1:6 NLT

Whenever God is about to do something new in your life, there will be a battle before the reality. Don’t listen to the doubters, the naysayers, or the critics. It’s during these crucial times that we have good people in our inner circle who are praying for us and cheering us onward! Continue to stand strong in your faith, trust that God’s good plan will prevail in your life, and continue to ask God for His favor.God is bigger than any dungeon you’re currently stuck in. He doesn’t withhold any good thing from those who love Him, who do what’s right, and who want to go forward in their God-ordained purpose. Press onward and stick close to God! Do your part and He will do His part, which is actually the greater part that you could never achieve on your own. God’s goodness in your life will prevail! There will come a day when you’ll grasp the purpose behind the pain, the obstacles, and the challenges, and in hindsight recognize God’s blessings through it. The Lord will fulfill His purpose for you. His loving devotion endures forever. He never abandons the works of His hands. Your story is for His glory!
