God first works in us so He can then work through us.
God takes our history and makes it His Story.
For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared
that we should walk in them. Ephesian 2:10 ASV
In Ephesians 2:10 Paul says we are God’s creation – or
His workmanship, handiwork, or masterpiece, depending on which English Bible
translation you read. In the original Greek we are His poiema – which means “work of art.”
This is also where we get our English word for poem. We are His masterful poem.
Each and every one of us. Our redemption becomes a display of God’s great
kindness and love. As believers in Christ we become a living, walking art
gallery of God’s abundant grace toward us. But we don’t become God’s “work of
art” merely for the sake of looking good. God first works in us so He can then
work through us.
God has prepared good works for each of us.
It might be in the place where we least expect it, or in the place where we
feel we least deserve it. God actually prefers it this way, because then we
have no choice but to give Him all the credit. Oftentimes our calling resides
in the place where we are most dependent on Him.
Every believer in Christ has been given a
purpose. Sometimes that purpose is revealed in an instant. Sometimes it may
take a period of time for that purpose to be revealed. Is God’s purpose for
your life clear?
God has given each of us a specific purpose
that we might be a beautiful display of His great grace.
May God give you the Spirit of wisdom &
revelation so that you may know Him better. Have an awesome day in the Lord!!
Ephesians 1:17
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing!
