It’s interesting that the last thing Jesus said on the cross was “it
is finished.” It certainly looked like the end. It looked like it was
over. But I believe that wasn’t just a statement of fact; it was a
statement of faith. He was saying to His Father, “I’ve done My part.
I’ve fulfilled My destiny. Now I’ve got total trust and confidence in
You that You are going to finish what You started.” Even though it
looked like the end, in reality, it was only the beginning.
When it looks dark in your own life and things aren’t going your way,
dare to make that declaration of faith just like Jesus. “It is
finished.” What you’re really saying is “God, I know You are going to
turn this situation around. I know You are going to heal my body. I know
You are going to restore my family. I know You are going to give me the
breaks that I need.” Don’t go around complaining. Speak victory over
your circumstances. Trust that He is faithful and that He will complete
what He’s started in you!
