A Work In Progress

A Work In Progress

“Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.”
1st Timothy 4:15

This morning me and my little dog Teddy were going to get our daily Cappuccino at our local Tim Horton’s restaurant, there was a "Work in Progress" sign warning drivers of road construction. This past week I had written two devotionals about the seasons that each one of us goes through in our lives, and this sign reminded me that each one of us a work in progress, as we go through these seasons in life, following the plan that God has in store for us. We do not jump from the beginning of God’s plan immediately to the final result, but we progress step by step along the way until we reach our final destination. We are a work in progress as we learn little by little, and grow in our walk with God, until He has molded and shaped us to be the person He wants us to be. I know in my own life I have been a work in progress, as during the earlier part of my life, I did not have the wisdom, knowledge and understanding as to what God’s plan was for me. But during this time I was growing little by little, and step by step, in my walk with God. The difficulties and problems that I overcame during my travel with God made me realize that I could not do all things on my own, but that I needed more than my own abilities to achieve what I thought were my goals. My goals in life have been changed tremendously over the years, as I have obtained more wisdom and understanding about God’s plan for me. I would encourage each of you to be aware that God has a plan for your life. You must be willing to follow Him wherever He leads you, as He will lead and guide you to the joyful and abundant life that He has in store for you.
