A Reflection On God’s Faithfulness

When I wonder if God is still working in my life

God seems to work with us in seasons. We may go through periods of feeling particularly close to Him, followed by periods of apparent distance. We may have times of plenty followed by times of scarcity. We can see God using our labor and blessing it, and then we see His pruning process and wonder where His blessing has gone. Or we may even willfully distance ourselves from God’s work through apathy or sin. Our temptation in any of these times is to think that God is done with us. But we must resist that temptation. If we’re alive, He isn’t finished with us.

Our job is to be alert, to cultivate the gifts He has given us, and to persevere in the good works He has prepared for us in advance (Ephesians 2:10). There is no “falling away” too substantial for Him to restore. There is no weakness greater than His strength. Wherever we are in our walk, there is revival to be sought and work to be done. He continues to work.

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
