I'm sure about this: the one who started a good work in you will stay with you to complete the job by the day of Christ Jesus. Phil. 1:6
I am with I am by the grace of God. 1 Cor. 15:1

WE ARE GOD'S WORKS IN PROGRESS!
Remember that we are God's masterpieces. (Eph. 2:10). God never gives up on us (Phil. 1:6)--that is a point we see in Jonah. God is no Plan B, for instance, he has our destiny planned out and written out for us he controls our destiny he uses us for his purposes and we will know there is no second best in our life but best either the best or disobedience there is no second best. God doesn't compromise! We are either in God's will or we are not. We cannot keep God's will as Jonah thought he could. God goes after us as a hound of Heaven in a shepherd after the lost sheep. We cannot offer excuses for God's will in our life that we are not adequate or suited for it or that people will not believe us or that we are inarticulate or have no way with words.
God uses us the way we are and we can become all things (1 Cor. 9:22) to all people God opens the door for whoever we are to reach other people in his name if we have the faith to do it. It is the power of the gospel and the power of the word that works on people, not our words but the power of the word that brings conviction of the Holy Spirit. We must remember that God is the Potter and we are the clay though we must not quarrel with our maker. God has a purpose for us even regarding the evil ones. God is the purpose for them there's nothing in the world that does not have a purpose in God's eyes this is called teleological thinking. We are God's masterpiece in the sense that we are his "workmanship" created by Christ Jesus unto good works. (Eph. 2:10).
God knows us, in fact, he knows better than we know ourselves for he is our Maker and we know us inside and out and has all of our days or lives written out beforehand and before we were born even knew us. We must sometimes think that we are not someone that would people would respect but God does not look at our appearance or look at our resume what he sees is what he can do with us if we let him control our spirit submitting to his we are seen as possibilities than someone that he can work with and he sees potential in us even if we are just the average Joe.
God is able to make all things work together for his Plan to supply all our needs (Phil. 4:19). If we do his will, we never lack supplies or goods or provisions when we're in God's will. We must always have a criterion for our plans and our lives and be patient with others because God's not finished with us yet either so we want people to pace it with us too. Some people think that when we lack nothing good it means we have everything,. No, it does not mean that Paul lived in poverty even though he had a tent maker minister, he did not have riches it's not necessarily true that Christians become rich as prosperity preachers but God is the Maker both the rich and the poor. But God will supply all your needs to do his will and all your needs not all your wants. (Phil. 4:19).
God will give us the marching orders to do his will and we must not major in the minors or get sidetracked but be disciples on a mission to do what he has planned out for us and open the door for us to do and I remember the disobedience does not change God's plan he will deal with it and prune us discipline us and chastise us to bring us into the right path and on right track. He keeps us going on the right track and God is able to make us willing to do his will Phil 2:13) this is unusual because we are free persons and agents with God have free will but God can influence our will and make us do whatever his will is. He is more powerful and stronger than us, in fact, his sovereignty means that we cannot frustrate or thwart his will and God has all power to accomplish his will on Earth regardless of what we do or not whether we cooperate or not. We must realize that God never holds back on his abounding grace (where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more. Rom 5:20) and never has a second plan in case this one fails if we fail and we won't because God knows that he has called us for his good purposes we cannot fail the church cannot fail because God has chosen it.
Isaiah 14:24, 27 says, "As I have plans and as I have a purpose" In verse 27 it says, "Who will know it is He has stretched out who will turn it back?" Contrast this with Job 42:2 which says I know that you can do everything and no purpose of yours can be felt or thwarted from you God is never frustrated with us we cannot upset God he will do his will whether we cooperate or not we are mere clay in his hand as he is the Potter and we are the clay and we have vessels who honor or dishonor we either examples of good or of evil god use us regardless. Soli Deo Gloria!
