Created for Good Works
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
— Ephesians 2:10
From the moment of creation, God’s perfect handiwork has been on display in us. We are not accidents or afterthoughts but masterpieces of His design, carefully crafted for a purpose. In Christ, we are recreated to live out His divine calling: to walk in the good works He prepared long before we existed.
This truth is echoed in Psalm 139:13–16:
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb... All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
God’s care is so intimate that He formed every detail of our being, and His plan for us is intricately woven into His eternal purpose. Before you took your first breath, He prepared a path for you—a life filled with opportunities to reflect His glory, love others, and expand His kingdom.
Sometimes, we may feel unworthy or unsure of our purpose. But remember, God doesn’t make mistakes. He chose you to fulfill specific works that only you can do, empowered by His Spirit. Trust in His timing and guidance, for He has gone before you, paving the way.
Reflection and Prayer
Lord, thank You for creating me as Your masterpiece, perfectly designed for Your purpose. I am humbled that You prepared good works for me even before I was born. Help me to trust in Your plan and walk in the path You have set before me with faith and courage. Teach me to see every moment as an opportunity to glorify You. May my life be a reflection of Your love and a testimony to Your workmanship. Amen.
Love this 👏👏👏
