YOU ARE PART OF THE STORY

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

Have you ever wondered why, with countless numbers of angels to do His bidding, and His own omnipotence and omnipresence, God chooses to involve us in His work in the world? The Scripture above from Paul means that God not only created the world with us in it, but He also created every good thing we will do with our lives. He didn't just set the world up and then leave us on our own. No. He is intimately involved with what we are doing every day, having planned it out in advance. He not only created this great story we are living, but is still creating it! And you get to be a part of it all.But, what happens if you don’t get involved and participate in the ongoing story of the Scriptures? Be assured, God's work will go on in spite of us, but He absolutely loves to factors us into the equation. He wants you to be a magnificent and integral part of His great adventure. That is why it is such a privilege and a joy to serve Him. It is a tremendous opportunity for you to find purpose and meaning in the world. This is your unique chance to enter into God’s creative process with Him. You see, He doesn't need us, but He wants us. He has always longed to share His great work with you. For in the beginning, before you were created, God said, "Let us make people in our image, to be like ourselves. They will be masters over all life.”
Isn't it amazing that He would give you so much importance in His creation? Do you want to find out what He wants you to do? Suddenly that little thing you know He wants you to do for your neighbor or your fellow-worker takes on much bigger significance, doesn't it? What great work is He sharing with you today?

Today’s Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank you for bringing me into the story of your great creation. I only ask that you make me worthy of this adventure. Give me the vision to do whatever work you need me to do without hesitation. If there is a need, let me fill it. If there is a hurt, let me heal it. If there is a lost soul, let me find it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
