A Daily Devotion for Tuesday, April 18

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

When I read these words, I think about how different we all are, one from another. We all have our own interests and talents, and have been shaped by different experiences. We have unique strengths and weaknesses. This makes each of us equipped and ready for our own calling. God could have created us all alike, and controlled our experiences and responses. Instead we have this opportunity, from childhood to the end of our days, to find ways to serve God. The opportunities are all around, and these words from Paul suggest that God prepares some of those experiences specifically for me, and for each one of us. I must be on the lookout, and take advantage of every opportunity.

Father God, you have a plan for me. Help me to navigate this life and find ways to do your work. I want to live out your plan. Please light my path. Amen
