Title: He Starts Good Work in You

-
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 KJV
Devotion: A natural man is a sinner and does what he decides from his own heart. We all are naturally sinners because we inherited sin from Adam and Eve.(Romans 3:23) We begin to grow in it till death of some or until we make conscious effort to get out of sinful life. 
Let us remember that we can make effort to get out of sin but our effort is not enough because our self righteousness is like a filthy rag before God. Only God Himsel through grace (Romans 3:24)can make us righteous when we surrender to God.( Matt 5:17) Whenever we surrender to God through Christ His son we become a new being.(2Cor5:17) From that moment on God starts a good work in us to make us perfect till Jesus returns. (Philippians 1:6) This is when we continue to abide in Christ and he in us(John15:4), we must not backslide.
 Dearly beloved what is your take on this matter?

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial.
