Devotion:
Read Ephesians 2:8-10.
God has created you as a masterpiece work of art to do good works. But God’s creation was not just a “one and done” event. One of the creeds of the Church states “We believe in God: who has created and is creating…” God continues to create throughout the universe, including in the life of every person, as that person follows God’s guidance and direction. As you study and meditate on the Scriptures, as you keep the prayer conversation line open, as we worship and serve alongside other Christians, God continues to create you to be the person you were meant to be.
And this writer gives you the purpose for which you were created: to do good works. Every person who has given themselves to God and seeks to represent God in their everyday life has been given this purpose. We are to look for and take advantage of every opportunity we have to do something good for someone else. And even as we do those good works, that becomes part of God’s creative process. Be assured this day that you are God’s work of art and that God is not finished with you yet!
Personal Worship Option:
Give thanks to God for the gift of life and for the opportunities God gives you each day to be a new creation.
