Ephesians 2:10 (AMP)
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), [a]recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”
This scripture should cause us to anticipate the great Workman at work in our life. Each one of us is a work in progress! This should encourage our heart that the God that created the heavens and earth is molding us and preparing us for another day. Each day our feet hit the floor we should be anticipating how He is going to use us. Let us be mindful though that we do it with His strength and ability. Let our steps and plans be directed by Him.
Philippians 2:13 (AMP)
“[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while [a]effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and [b]delight.”
He delights in using our ears to listen to those around us. As we speak words, let them be words of edification to the one that may need a word of encouragement in their life. May our hands be those that work heartily unto Him! Today I am looking forward to what He is going to do in my life today as His loving hands continue to mold and make me for His purposes! I hope you are too! May we purpose in our hearts to take those paths that He prepared ahead of time, and walk in them!
