Destined for good works – Stella Ramola

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)
Dear friend, it is a joy to bring God’s word to you. God’s word for meditation is from 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.” Yes, my friend, God has created you to do good works. So whatever you do, give your best to do good to others. Love everyone as yourself. Yes, my friend, in whatever you do, whether in word or in deed do it for the glory of God as it says in Colossians 3:17, “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” 

Every single project you do at work, every single task you do, every conversation you have with your friend, every single word you study for your exam and every single way you take care of your family, in everything that you do give your best. Do good for the glory of God. When you do that, God will honor you. You might say, “I don’t have many talents, opportunities or skill.”  But start small with the little that you have. It might be making someone laugh, taking care of somebody, counseling somebody or teaching somebody what you know, so start small with what you have.
Yes, give your best in doing good to others. God is going to give you that strength from today. Rejoice for the purpose God has created you which is to do good works for His glory. In the Bible, we have classic examples of people who did good with the little they had. Joseph did his best whether in prison or at work. David did his best in caring for the sheep and taking food for his brothers. He obeyed God in little things. The little boy with five loaves and two fishes gave the little he had to God. Even when you do the little things with great love for God and people, you too will succeed and bring glory to God. Decide to do your best from today. God bless you.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,

Reveal Your purpose for my life to me. How should I use what I have? Show me ways in which I can glorify Your name. Help me to love and care for others. Bless the little things I do and help me to do it to the best of my ability.

In Your precious name, I pray. Amen.
