Equipped for Every Good Work

God desires to make you complete, equipped for every good work, and aligned with His will through the power of Jesus Christ.

“May the God of peace … make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.”—Hebrews 13:20–21 NKJV

The book of Hebrews closes with an important reminder about the great resources we have in Christ: God gave us His Word, sent us His Spirit, established a covenant relationship with us, and sent Jesus to be our Great High Priest. Hebrews says these and other spiritual resources were given to “make you complete in every good work to do His will.”

God doesn’t want us just to experience partial victories, temporary relief, or a few blessings. He wants us to be complete!

However, this does not happen overnight; it is a process. As we make mistakes, God corrects us. When we fail, He encourages and teaches us. We mature as we absorb more and more of His Word and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to us.

Today, realize all the ways God is at work in your heart and life, the things you do, the thoughts you think, the places you go, and the people you meet. He wants to make you mature and complete, pleasing to Him. He promises to teach you, correct you, empower you, and give you victory in your daily life.

Set your heart on cooperating with God in this great process. The Lord is at work in your life. He has given you unique gifts, talents, and resources, and He has an assignment for you. Accept nothing less than being “complete in every good work to do His will.” Dedicate your life to Him.

Reflection Question: In what area of your life is God working to make you more complete?
