Psalm 138:6 
The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. (NLT)

Finish what you started in me, GOD.
Your love is eternal—don’t quit on me now.
(The Message)

This is a season of transitions. Loved ones have passed away. Friends are moving from one place to another, from one job to another, from full employment to retirement. 

On our walk yesterday morning, we passed some homes for sale we enjoyed watching as they were built. They are nice homes in a good location. “What if?” we wondered. We wandered closer and took a photo of the real estate agent’s sign.

The homes are nicer, or at least pricier, than we anticipated. If we sell our house for maximum value and apply the proceeds to the purchase of one of these houses, we will still owe a million dollars. 

This is one transition we will not make.

Life is full of change. Some of these changes are easy to anticipate. Others are unexpected. Some we plan and prepare ourselves for. 

The good news is God has a purpose and a plan for our lives. As long as we live, he is working in us and working through us. He molds, shapes, restores, and renews our lives all the days of our lives. 

Where is he at work in your life today? 

King David in this psalm and the Apostle Paul in his most joyful letter share a confident assertion. You see David’s words above. Here are Paul’s words:

“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

Whatever turning point you are currently experiencing, know that our Father in Heaven has his hand on you. His purpose and his plans for you are full of goodness and grace, mercy and compassion, strength and direction. He is still working on you and me to make us what he wants us to be.

I will walk with God through all the transitions of life as God works out his purpose and plans for me.

Our Father, thank you for guiding this journey. Thank you for working out your purpose for my life. Thank you for not stopping or abandoning me. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Amen.

Daily D – Matthew 1:20-21

Matthew 1:20, 21 But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Daily D – Hebrews 6:15

Hebrews 6:15 And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.

Daily D – Hebrews 4:15-16

Hebrews 4:15, 16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

Daily D – Psalm 25:8

Psalm 25:8 The Lord is good and upright;
therefore he shows sinners the way.
He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

Daily D – Philemon 15, 16

Philemon 15, 16 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave — as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
