And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Sunday, July 16
There are times when we may feel "successful" in our Christian walk. And there are times when we feel like every turn is a constant failure. But we have this reassurance: the one who began a good work in us will continue that work. This work is ongoing and never stops, whether or not we feel successful. We are given the Holy Spirit and sealed with that Spirit until the day of Jesus Christ. Praise God that his redeeming work in us never ends.

Pray for Karlene Stehling, who is retiring this year after 50 years with MAF. In her latest prayer letter, she writes, “These next couple of months are busy with training/working with other individuals as they take over the areas of work I have been responsible for these past 3 years. I feel so privileged to have been involved with candidates and short-term associates in the early stages of being missionaries with MAF …I would appreciate your prayers that I will be able to remember all the details to make these work transitions happen in an orderly and helpful manner.”
