Ephesians 2:10
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to
do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
I WILL DO GOOD WORKS THROUGH YOU
I remember a gentleman in the first church I pastored, on
every visit I had with him, he characterized his Christian walk as one that was
a failure, he felt worthless, and believed that he was useless to God and to
kingdom work. How many of you feel that way, or have felt that way about
yourself? The verse before us today holds such powerful affirmation for all of
us. It teaches us that God promises you and me that we were created with a
special purpose. Put another way, we are created by God and for God. We are God’s
incredible handiwork, that gives us value, add to that the truth we were
created in Christ to do good works. So, do not believe the lie of the evil one,
that You are useless or a failure in Kingdom work. Rather believe God’s word
and promise that says “we are God’s masterpiece, hand-crafted with pride, love,
care and joy.
Our verse today says, and this overwhelming I believe, it
says that God has planned out the good for us to do from the beginning of time.
So do not entertain for one moment that your life has no purpose, meaning, or
value. If you are alive and breathing, you can be sure God is working in you
and working through you. God promises He will fulfill your call and purpose
through his son, Jesus.
REFLECT
Is there a time when you have
doubted your worth to God?
How does this promise make you
feel?
Ask God to show you the “good
work” He is doing in your life.
