“I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 1:6
Lumin’s Faithful Translation
The setting
Paul wrote this letter from a Roman prison around 60 AD to the church in Philippi, a Roman colony where believers faced social pressures yet supported his mission. The verse draws on the cultural idea of a benefactor completing a project begun for others.
Reflection
How might partnering with the good work God has begun in you look like serving a specific person in need today?
A prayer
God, thank you for the work you have begun in me. Keep me open to your steady hand as I serve others in your name.
Carry it with you
Pick one way God is shaping you, such as growing in kindness, and serve someone today by offering practical help like running an errand.
