« STAYING ON THE TABLE »

Much of this year we have used two different analogies to describe the process of growth the Emerge students are going through. One of which is staying on the operating table while God does his work. Often when we are in a period of growth the process can be frustrating and it can be very tempting to try and stop the process early. However, it is critical in our relationship with God that we allow him to finish the work he has started. I know for me although my periods of growth in my life have had their painful moments, I am grateful that God grew me and continues to grow me. Paul wrote to the Philippians “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” Next time you find God growing and working on you allow him to complete it, and stay on the table!
