7/13 - Philippians 1...kinda

Hope the weekend treated you well. It was a great one for me - got to see my Mom from Florida, Uncle James from Las Vegas, Aunt Diane from Atlanta, my godbrother from Savannah & it's always good to see my Dad. Also two of my friends joined our church which I'm still pretty excited about. Our church has been praying for more "laborers for the harvest" (Matthew 9:37-38) and I'm sure that's what He's given our church with these two. I'm looking forward to continuing in the labor we've already begun with them.

So I've been looking at Philippians 1 for a couple days and got a little hung up on a familiar passage, verse 6:
"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."
How does the "day of Jesus Christ" differ from the "day of the Lord" (if in fact there is a difference)? How do I apply this verse to my life and not risk growing complacent (since God's going to complete things anyway)? Maybe I'm looking at this too deeply but I still have some questions on it & need to study a little more. So that's why I put the "kinda" in the title. I don't have much to offer today but would appreciate anyone else's insight on this topic as I'll continue to study it. Happy Monday to all
