What does Ephesians 2:10 mean? →Passage Context
Devotional Reflection
The Psalmist reminds us that God made us in a fearful and wonderful way and has a plan for us while we are here. We show how well-made and skilled He is when we choose to live for Him instead of living like everyone else.
Prayer
Teach me to recognize Your opportunities and Your will as they present themselves in my life, Master. I want to give my entire life to You. I ask for courage so that I won't be hesitant to share my faith. As I wait for people to respond, I pray for patience. I ask for God's protection over those who are about to accept Christ. Instead of praying for myself, I ask that Your Kingdom be manifest in my life. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
Did you know God makes things? Even more important, did you know that you are one of His masterpieces? God made us to be beautiful and useful so that we can do good things. So, let's not let anyone, especially the evil one, tell us that we're not important to God or to other people. His grace has turned our lives into canvases on which He will paint more masterpieces for the world to enjoy. Let's show that we're as good as God thinks we are.
Prayer
Dear Father, Thank You for knowing me and changing me through the grace of Jesus. Use me to do what You want, and lead me to the right people so I can help them the best I can. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
Grace doesn't just save us from dying; it also saves us for God's glory. He has remade us. We are His work of art, and He wants to show His goodness and grace through the things we do and say.
Prayer
O LORD, You made everything and keep it going. Please do Your creative work in me and turn me into something useful for You. Please use my influence and the skills You've given me to bless my family, my friends, and others who need to know Your grace better. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
