Now Finish the Work... 2 Corinthians 8:11 Dr. David A Baillie

I took a few weeks off from writing the devotional thought as some of you have noticed.  Sometimes we just need to step back and take breaks from things and refresh ourselves.  These moments are part of life.  It is why we have vacations and days off and the like.  Yet, our work is never really finished, and sooner or later we have to resume what we are called to do. 

In 2 Corinthians 8 Paul is writing to the church and he says, "Now finish the work so that the eager willingness with which you began it will lead to the completion of it according to your means."

As Christians, until the day Jesus returns, our work is never really done.  We are to take the means at our disposal and finish what Christ has commanded us to do.  For us here at Open Door Fellowship, this word from Paul reminds us that we still have much to do that lies in front of us.  Over the next few weeks we will be discussing our Vision 2020 plan for the future of our church, but it is not just a vision about our church, it is a vision that embodies the continuing of Christ mission here on earth. 

My prayer today for all of us is that we will take whatever God has given us and continue to press on to do the work of God's kingdom untili the day Jesus returns
