“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.”

[1 Thessalonians 5:24 NIV]

Devotional

Paul wrote these words to believers who were learning how to live out their faith day by day. They faced pressures, questions, and the slow work of spiritual growth. In the middle of his encouragements and instructions, Paul anchored everything in a simple truth. God is the one who called them, and God is the one who would complete His work in them. Their hope rested not in their own consistency but in His faithfulness.

This promise reminds us that God never begins something in us and then leaves it unfinished. He knows your weaknesses, your struggles, and the areas where you still long to grow. Yet He remains committed to transforming your life. His call is steady, and His faithfulness does not waver. When you feel unsure of your progress or discouraged by setbacks, this verse assures you that God is still working.

You do not have to perfect yourself. You do not have to carry the weight of your spiritual journey alone. God is the one shaping your character, strengthening your heart, and guiding your steps. The work He began in you is rooted in His love and powered by His faithfulness. Every moment of growth, every answered prayer, and every renewed desire for Him is evidence that He is doing exactly what He promised.

Let this truth calm your heart today. God is faithful. He will finish the good work He started in you.

Lord, thank You for being faithful. Continue Your work in my heart and strengthen me to follow You. Help me trust that You will do everything You have promised.
