Philippians 1:6 English Standard Version (ESV) 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.
There are lyrics to a song that state; “What have you done for me lately.”
There will always be moments when we might feel the same way about our Lord but those are emotions which are of the flesh and we need to remind ourselves of how far we have come on this walk with Christ. The longer we have been on the walk and the more Christ like we become, the less and less there is that needs to be worked on spiritually. It is after all a spiritual walk. We deal with our flesh daily and He gives us the strength to overcome but the flesh still remains.
This completion spoken of in Philippians is our translation into our incorruptible form. Until then the work in us is step by step and some of that takes longer than we have the patience to endure. That is the flesh complaining that it does not want to give up its hold on our soul.
James 1:2-4 English Standard Version
Testing of Your Faith
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
The flesh will test our faith. We should not think that all trials are external being caused by the enemies of Christ. It is true that some trials are external to our souls but the ones that matter the most are the ones produced in us by our flesh. It seems easier to endure others than it does to endure ourselves. We have to live with ourselves and that can be trying.
That does not mean that Christ is finished with us yet. Patience is the fourth fruit of the spirit and faithfulness is the seventh. The last fruit is self-control.
