Finish what you started in me, God

We just finished an incredible week as we set aside everything else going on and took time out to minister to children ages 4 through 5th grade. It was an amazing week to see each night the kids attending hear and most importantly through age-appropriate teaching, understand characteristics that God wants us to live by. Night after night I heard about the kids and even the volunteers that received from the teaching and as I set down to reflect on the last week I turned to Psalm 138(MSG) and began to dwell on the words of David. "Thank you! Everything in me says, Thank you! Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: Thank you! Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength. (v1-3)

I had my daughter ask me, the middle of the week, if I was ready for Adventure Week to be over. I think she thought I would say yes - but without hesitation I said, not really because everyone was having such a good time and was not ready for Adventure Week to end. This scripture came to mind. (v 3) "I called out, you (God) stepped in, you (God) made my life large with strength." Not my strength, believe me I got tired and my body aches, but God's strength made me happy and content. And that's the awesome part!!! On my own I'd be weary and tired and give up - but with God my prayer is(v8): "Finish what you started in me, God. Your love is eternal - don't quit on me now."

Women let's rise up and stop living in defeat, let's make this our daily prayer: "God finish what you started in me".
