“I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do” (John 17:4).
The Lord Jesus is a finisher. All around us are examples of those who begin well but do not finish. Marella was a prime example of a person who needed ‘a round tuit.’ She was going to do things when she got ‘around to it’! Not so with the Lord Jesus. He finished everything His Father wanted Him to finish. He alone is the perfect Savior in Whom we can have complete confidence. The writer of the Book of Hebrews reminds us to be “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2). It is hard to trust someone who makes great promises but who never follows through. It is quite a different matter to trust in the Lord Jesus Who follows through and finishes everything He says He will do. How will this play out in your life today?
For today: I want to trust and obey the Lord Jesus. How about you?
