Genesis 43; Psalms 20 to 21; Matthew 25:1-30
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
Many things are made with “planned obsolescence”: they are disposable and only last for a short time. This world in its present form is impermanent; yet so many live as if it is of ultimate value. Thankfully, God will never dispose of those who are saved by faith in Christ. Despite our weakness and life’s varied trials, He will not fail to complete the work of conforming every believer to Christ’s glorious image (Rom. 8:18-39). Neither earthly nor spiritual powers will thwart His work in His people. —Keith R. Keyser
Each object of His love is sure to reach the heavenly goal;
For neither sin nor Satan can destroy the blood-wash’d soul.
—Albert Midlane
