Not finished yet
Trusting that God is not done with you
The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: Forsake not the works of thine own hands. — Psalm 138:8
In your life, have you ever gone through moments when it felt as though you were not moving forward in your walk with God? Perhaps you felt as though you were not growing. You may have even felt like God was finished with you.
There are times when spiritual progress feels slow. We look for change and see repetition. We hope for growth and notice weakness. It can be discouraging to feel as though we are standing still while others appear to be moving ahead.
Yet David writes with confidence: The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me. This is not a declaration rooted in personal strength. It is rooted in God’s character. The word “perfect” carries the meaning of completing or bringing something to fulfillment. What God begins, He continues.
God does not abandon His work halfway through.
We may become impatient with ourselves. We may measure growth by visible milestones or emotional highs. But God works with patience. He shapes quietly. He refines gradually. His mercy endures, not for a moment, but forever.
When David prays, “Forsake not the works of thine own hands,” he acknowledges something profound: we belong to God. We are His workmanship. The very fact that we desire growth is evidence that He is still at work within us.
If you feel unfinished, uncertain, or stalled today, remember this: God is not finished with you. His mercy has not run out. His purpose has not expired. What concerns you concerns Him.
The process may be slower than you hoped, but it is not abandoned. Where do you feel discouraged in your growth, and how might God still be shaping you in that area?
