His On-Going Project

Ephesians 2:10 KJV:
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

This remains one of my favourite verses of Scripture. There's a lot of hope, faith, love and grace revealed in the few words written above. These verses were written so many years ago, yet God says we are his workmanship, an on-going project. This tells me that long before I was conceived, a plan and a purpose had been laid for me. Long before I even knew anything, God already knew me, and had a plan for my life. The cavear is that, it is only in Christ that those plans find true expression and fulfilment. Many of us have turned to people, possessions and position, seeking purpose in created things instead of seeking the Creator himself. No wonder then, that we are frustrated, defeated and lifeless. It is when Christ is involved that our lives are impactful and our purposes are fulfilled.
God had already ordained us to do good works long before we became good. I owe it to God first, and to the generation he has put me, to discover these good works I was created to do and to get busy doing them. Why this is important is evident in the lives of vert successful and wealthy people, who have amassed a lot of possessions, yet are very unhappy and are unfulfilled. They look happy to the world,but they are really unhappy and irritable. Wealth doesn't guarantee joy, only the true joy does and until he comes, man only struggles, he cannot achieve anything.
Let us therefore seek God today and discover the reason for our creation. Let us get busy at what God created us to do, because God's rewards are not tied to activity but to fulfilling purpose.
Rejoice in this new month as you find real joy at what God has created you to do. His time of favour is here.
