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.
God is so good! When I stop to look back over parts of my life, I can see God leading me toward certain things and perhaps away from others. God has a path for each and every one of us. I believe each one of us has a unique path full of gifts and graces. I also believe that if we stay on course and follow God, we will find those good works which he intends for us to complete. It is a beautiful, complicated journey, prepared by our master, God. The journey is not always easy, and often very painful, but never intended to be traveled alone.
Holy Lord, you are the Master Creator, the Maker of heaven and earth and all that is in it, from the beginning of time and for all eternity. I am grateful you have made me a part of this and started me on a journey to you. Amen

Ephesians 2:10 I posted earlier this morning, however after a phone call came in the post didn’t appear okay so it didn’t happen so guess I need to find the path and create it again, you see today was a totally different journey than what I thought would be but God had prepared a different plan for me! I was meeting my sister and together we would be visiting Dad so that she would be up to speed with all the staff changes and just how Dad really was doing…after having a terrible visit with Dad on Sunday finding him in his room full total disarray and a different staff on the weekends it was a total train wreck, staff r…
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
We are not like a Monet or Rembrandt masterpiece. We are not meant to be in a museum, just looked at for someone’s appreciation and pleasure. Our Master, God, created us to be doers of his word. He gave us each of us different gifts and talents that would help us find the right job to do in his name. As we grow in our faith, we find ways to use these gifts. As we grow in our faith we often discover new talents to use in helping others.
Prayer: Gracious God…

Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
We are God’s work of art. Each of us born intricately. Each of us given certain gifts by God. We may not have known these gifts right away but as our faith grows and we study his word, we recognize our gifts given to us. I believe my good works is what God had in mind for me in the first place. When we are doing a good work, it will certainly be worth it, but we should pray for God’s blessing while doing it, and that it is what h…
Ephesians 2:10 The fact that each of us represents God’s creative impulse is an extremely sobering thought given the ease with which I can find myself judging and poorly treating others. Good works, most of the time, beget more good works. Whenever we are in a position to hinder or even stop a cycle of disrespect, disregard or injustice inflicted upon another of God’s creations and do so, we are carrying out the mission God prepared in advance for us to do.
Prayer - Help me, Lord, to see Your handiwork in the people around me who would ordinarily provoke a negative reaction. Let me see Your light in them and treat them respectfully, giving all honor and glory to You.…
