Scripture Focus:
“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)
Becoming is a journey, not a destination. It is the daily unfolding of who God has called you to be. Often, we are tempted to focus on the finished product, wanting immediate change, instant healing, or quick answers. God is just as intentional about the process as He is about the promise. In the becoming, He shapes our character, strengthens our faith, and deepens our dependence on Him.
- Becoming requires patience. There are seasons when growth feels slow and progress seems invisible. You may feel stretched, uncomfortable, or even unsure of yourself. Yet, these moments are not wasted. Just as a seed must first be buried before it can grow, God often allows hidden seasons so that deep roots can form. What looks like delay is often divine preparation.
- Becoming also calls for surrender. We cannot become who God desires while holding tightly to who we used to be. Old habits, past mindsets, and former identities must be laid down. This can be difficult, because familiarity feels safe even when it is limiting. God never removes something without intending to replace it with something better. When we surrender, we make room for transformation.
- In the process of becoming, God refines us. He uses challenges to teach us endurance, disappointments to develop humility, and waiting seasons to grow our trust. The refining may feel uncomfortable, but it produces maturity and spiritual depth. God is not just changing what you do; He is changing who you are.
Becoming is also deeply personal. Your journey will not look like anyone else’s. Comparison can distract you and cause discouragement, but God’s work in you is uniquely designed. Trust that His timing, methods, and plans are perfect for your life. Stay focused on His voice and His direction.
Most importantly, becoming is anchored in hope. God is faithful to finish what He started. Even when you feel incomplete, unsure, or weary, He is still working. Every step forward no matter how small is evidence of His grace at work in you.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to trust You in the process of becoming. Give me patience in the waiting, courage to surrender, and faith to believe that You are working all things together for my good. Shape me, refine me, and lead me into all that You have called me to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Reflection:
What is God asking you to release in this season so you can continue becoming who He has called you to be?
More Grace!
