Happy rainy Monday! Apparently a good storm blew through last night, and I slept right through it.
Today's verse is Ephesians 2:10:
For we are of God’s making, created in union with the Messiah, Jesus, for a life of good actions already prepared by God for us to do.
A lot of people would take comfort that God has a plan for us, work for us to do. I want to look at this a different way. I want us to look past the first layer. God has planned work for us to do, but He has also provided the means to do that work. We often forget that God provides the means and tools to do the work He has planned for us.
But God is asking us today, "Why do you keep asking (for provision and guidance), and not doing (what you know to do)? I have already provided everything you need. Step out in faith and watch the miracles happen."
Today, let us step out in faith in obedience. We know what God is asking of us. We just resist it because we are either afraid or we don't want to give up control.
Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
