Ephesians 2:10
Love Instead of Fear
Verse
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Thought
We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand. You are not your own project. You are God's work. And the good works you will do, he has already prepared.
Love instead of fear means: you do not have to figure out what God wants from you as if he were a riddle. He has prepared it. Your part is to follow him, not to plan everything yourself.
Today: you are his masterpiece. Not your self-optimization project.
Truth & Application
Truth: You are God's work, not your own. The good works are prepared, you simply walk into them. This frees you from fear of missing something or doing it wrong.
Practical today: Walk through today with the knowledge: God has prepared. I do not have to invent everything myself. I simply follow him.
Question for you: Where are you trying to invent good works instead of walking into prepared ones?
Prayer
Father, thank you that I am your work. You have prepared good works for me to walk in. Today I follow you instead of my own plans. I release planning anxiety and perfectionism. Holy Spirit, lead me today into the prepared steps. Amen.
