God Finishes What He Starts
Commentators unanimously agree that when the psalmist says the Lord will 'perfect' what concerns him, it means God will faithfully bring to completion the work He has begun. This promise, often linked by scholars to Philippians 1:6, is rooted not in human effort but in God's unchanging, everlasting mercy. He will not abandon the work of salvation He has started in a believer's life.
