In much of our lives, we rush to finish projects, get a promotion, or reach the next something. That same mentality can leak into our faith if we are not careful. In Philippians 1 we are reminded that God is up to something in each of us, and that faith is a process of being formed by God, not a destination or project to reach.
I think that sometimes we focus so much on what we can see people saying and doing, we forget that scripture tells us those things are an overflow of what is going on inside of them. God’s work of forming us, starts inside our hearts and soul, and then overflows into our hands and feet. That work of formation is one that takes intentionality, and trust.
