For we are God's
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in
advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
(NIV)
Do you truly feel like God’s workmanship? There are days
when it might be easy to feel more like God’s scrap heap than His workmanship.
But, think about this: God has never created anything that He wasn’t pleased
with. As God created the universe, the same thought was repeated over and over,
“And God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:10, 12, 18, 21, 25, 31). To say it
plainly, “God don’t make junk.”
You are God’s workmanship. Go ahead and say that out loud to
yourself, “I am God’s workmanship.” The purpose of God’s workmanship is to do
good works. How do you know what God wants you to do? Well, the Greek for “good
works” actually means to “work at something good.” What needs do you see around
you? Who do you have a heart for? Who do you enjoy working with? Our natural
passions and desires point us to the things that God “prepared in advance for
us to do.”
Now, there are a lot of good causes, so don’t get
overcommitted or a good thing will become a bad thing very quickly. God has a
good work for you to do. Open your eyes to the people around you and ask Him
what you should do. You will be surprised by how God can use you.
