Holding God to His Word

Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:6

HOLD GOD TO HIS WORD." Does that sound a bit cheeky? Well, to the timid person who prays, yes. But how does the prayer warrior feel about holding God to His Word? My, that's everyday praying.
   God enjoys it when we bring His Word before Him. He delights to do His will, and that we should expect Him to do it, only delights Him more. Charles Surgeon put it this way. "You and I may take hold at my time upon the justice, and the mercy, and the faithfulness. . . of God, and we shall find every attribute of the Most High to be, as it were, a great battering ram with which we may open the gates of heaven."
   This quotes inspired me when at the time, I desperately wanted, my friend show me Philippians 1;6 I decided to use the verse as a lever. I would do what it said: Be confident. So in prayer, I held God to His Word and believe that, He would complete His good work in me. And you know what? God is doing it.
    Presumptuously holding God to His Word is arrogance. Humbly holding God to His Word is meekness. We can confidently expect God to do what He says He will do in Scripture, but our confidence must be tempered with lowly and humble spirit. Blessed are meek, for they will heritage the earth. . . blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Today, let me look to Your promises with expectancy and assurance. For Your Word never returns to You empty but always accomplishes what you desire. Glory to God  in the highest!
