“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” - Ephesians 2:10

How do you accomplish God’s plan for your life?

When we became children of God through our salvation in Christ, we were born again. We were “created in Christ Jesus” to do good works. You received the gift of the Holy Spirit upon your salvation so that you would be fully equipped to accomplish the work God has already planned for your life.

How did you serve God’s purpose today? That depends on the moments you walked with him, obedient to his leadership.

God has planned your journey, which is filled with opportunities to allow Jesus to accomplish his good work through your life. God already knows the good works we will be called to accomplish tomorrow. We simply need to spend the day walking with God’s purpose instead of our own.

Every Christian has spiritual gifts God has given. He wanted you to be equipped for your calling, your “good works.” He knew which gifts you would need because the Lord is the architect of your journey. God wants you to take his prepared journey because he has provided you with countless opportunities to serve him. Why does God give us this calling? Because God wants to be able to bless you abundantly and eternally with his treasure in heaven.

God doesn’t need you to serve him. He knows you need to serve him for the sake of your eternity. Serving God is an opportunity for blessing, not an obligation of your salvation.

You are “God’s workmanship.” You are perfectly gifted to do good works for his kingdom purpose. Walking this journey of life with God enables you to accomplish all that he has prepared for you to accomplish so he can reward you eternally.

Does your path need adjusting? Tomorrow can be about following God’s plan instead of your own. Choose to walk with Jesus tomorrow and remain on his path for the days that will come.

Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise” (John 5:19). Jesus followed God’s plan for his earthly life so he could be an example for us to follow.

Jesus is the model for our own faith and the pathway for our eternal relationship with God. May our lives be God’s workmanship, filled with the good works he has already planned and gifted us to accomplish.
