Perspective Shift: Student EditionSample

Paul is reassuring the Philippians—and us—that God is fully committed to our spiritual growth. God started a "good work" in you, and He will see it through to the end. God makes us more like Christ—which far exceeds the best of everything we could ever be on our own. Do you feel peace knowing you're not doing this life alone? The Creator of the Universe is actively shaping, guiding, and refining you. He’s in the business of creating masterpieces, fit for His glory. So, why let doubts, fears, or setbacks steal your joy? Trust in His plan. He’s not done with you yet—and He always finishes what He starts! Find joy in the journey, not just in the destination. If Paul could, you can too.
