Ephesians 2:10 (AMP)

“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), 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].”

 
Praise the Lord for He is the Great Workman, and His skilled hands work to form, shape and mold us to do great things for His Kingdom!   Our hearts should be encouraged that the One that created the Heavens and the Earth is at work in our lives, we should be rejoicing in our hearts over the plans He has for us!   I shared with you in the last devotional that when we have needs, and we call out to Him for help,  He answers us with His grace.    His grace is always there to help us  to do His will.   His grace is at work in us to accomplish the great works and live in the realm of His miraculous works that He desires to do.    
 
I want to encourage your heart today in the fact that you are a work in progress.   No matter how long you have known the Lord, whether it be a few years or many, He continues to work in your life.     God sees our lives from the beginning to end, and He has the perfect plans to accomplish His will .     Remember…there is only one YOU!   He has a special and unique plan for you, and only YOU can do it as you look to Him and follow in His direction.    He is the faithful one that will continue to work by His Holy Spirit in our lives no matter what weaknesses or inabilities we may have.  Praise Him today for what He has done in your life.   Praise Him for what you also expect Him to do, and remember to give Him all the glory as He dwells within you and uses you as He wills!
 

Philippians 2:13 (AMP)

“[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while 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 delight.”
