Work in Process

Read: Isaiah 64:9

Joel Osteen says we are all a work in process, that God is continually working to improve us. We should remember that and not dwell on past mistakes or failings. If that is so - - from my observations some of us are much further along in the process than others. It isn’t my place to judge; but I can have an opinion.

Difficulties and setbacks should not be unexpected, but rather we should know they are but bumps along the way in God’s process. Our role in this process is to keep working to improve; to reduce mistakes and missteps and get closer to the person God has planned for us to be.

Looking ahead to the better you is much more productive than looking back to missteps or failures. God has expected those and has plans for us to overcome them as we travel the paths He has in store for us.

Keep faith in God and expect His plans to come to be; revel in the goodness of his favor; and give thanks for His blessings.

God is at work on your behalf.
