From Start to Finish

Philippians 1.6 is just an amazing passage. It explains Paul’s eager joy of anticipation. It explains God’s work from start to finish. For him, at that moment, things going on around him definitely weren’t perfect, but he had such a trust in God that he chose to look ahead and know God was going to work it out in the end. He decided to operate from the perspective of obtaining joy from what the church in Philippi would ultimately be, verses concentrating only from the perspective of how things currently were.
