"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," (Philippians 1:6KJV)
How you start is not important. Don’t let what you think is a disadvantage or a bad break cause you to say, “If I would had a better childhood, if I had more support, if I didn’t have this dysfunction, I could do something great.” That’s where you started, but that’s not where you’re going to finish. The beginning doesn’t determine your destiny.
The apostle Paul did not say that God will bring you “to a defeated finish,” “an unfair finish,” “a lonely finish,” or a “bankrupt finish.” God has a victorious finish, an abundant finish, “a flourishing finish.” When those thoughts tell you, “It’s never going to work out. You have too many disadvantages,” let those lies go in one ear and out the other. God has established the end, and He loves to take people who start with the odds against them and shine down His favor, give them breaks, increase them, and cause them to do extraordinary things.”
A Prayer for Today “Father, thank You that Your plans for me are for good. I may not understand everything along the way, and it may not have been fair, but I am not going to live worried, upset, or discouraged. I know You are bringing me to a flourishing finish. In Jesus’ Name, Amen."
