He’s in the growth business

Being confident of this,
That he who began a good work in you
Will carry it on to completion
Until the day of Christ Jesus.

~Philippians 1:6~

This week I’m linking up with Word-filled Wednesday, Thought-Provoking Thursday, Still Saturday, Fresh Brewed Sunday, Scripture and a Snapshot, and The Sunday Community.

**Photo backstory: A bird built her nest in the play house of my niece and nephew’s swing set. My little niece kept her eye on things until the babies grew up and the bird moved away. Then I snapped this pic.

***Quote from Everything {the book} by Mary DeMuth.

  1. Love this verse and reminder today!!

  2. What a great quote and I love the verse you shared too!

  3. What a beautiful photo and perfect scripture! Have a wonderful day :)

  4. The quote is lovely and the photo beautiful. I love the scripture. It was an uplifting thought today. Blessings!

  5. This is something to keep in mind while I am in the process of building my brand as well as online business. I especially need to be prayerful about the social media management I will be doing for a friend’s newly established travel business. I have already designed his logo. At this point–in lieu of his success within just this past year–we are eager to take our entrepreneurial skills to the next level. I cannot do alone. Furthermore, I cannot do it in my own human power.

  6. He is in the growth business, and in the completion business; in this is our confidence. Thank you, great photo to go with this verse and quote. The image of an empty nest says so much. It is finished. Moving on. Good words.

  7. Really nice photo! And the reminder is awesome too!
    Blessings to you!

  8. I cling to this verse often. God has started a lot of things in me that I don’t feel are quite finished. So thankful He is faithful to completed all that He has begun. Thanks for linking up with Fresh Brewed Sundays today.

  9. I love the bird’s nest for that verse; it reminds me of how I spent my summer watching bluebirds take care of their young. Yes, He finishes what He starts!

  10. Gorgeous photo! And love the scripture.

    Visiting from scripture and a snapshot.

    Blessings,
    Judy

    Anxious to read Mary’s book. Thank you for the small look inside.

  12. I love to watch the birds and their ways of taking care of the babies, so diligent and busy. wow…
