– Paul Tripp – “You don’t have to be anxious about the future. A God of grace has invaded your life, and he always completes what he starts.”
“It’s hard to look at the future and feel secure, because the future is simply out of our hands.
Our rest is in the person who holds our individual futures in his wise and gracious hands. We have peace because we know that he will complete the good things that he in grace initiated in our lives. He is faithful, so he never leaves the work of his hands.
He knows, he cares, and he will complete the job he began.”
– And I am sure of this, he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Phil 1:6
