God’s plan and purpose for your life

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

God created you exactly the way you are for a very special reason: He wants to use your life for His glory. He has given you unique talents and gifts that you can use to bless the people around you.

You may think you are just an ordinary person, like everyone else, but that is not true. God’s design in you is unique. There is no one else like you on earth.

Think about specific things that are normal for you, but that others may find unusual or fascinating. For example, you might enjoy doing manual work, feeling renewed when you pick up pieces of wood and work on them until you create a chair or a shelf.

Or maybe you love meeting new people, you enjoy walking around the town square just to see if you can start a conversation or run into someone you know.

There are many things we do “just because,” but in reality, they are an essential part of who we are and of God’s plan for our lives.

Pray today and ask God to show you how He wants to use you, just as you are, to bless others and extend His Kingdom. He has a precious purpose for your life, and He will be with you and guide you so that it may be fulfilled.

The Lord will vindicate me;
your love, Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
- Psalm 138:8

Don't Stop Moving Forward, Your Blessing Is Coming!

Doing good is not easy. Sometimes you do everything right, with honesty and good intentions, yet it seems that nothing changes.

When a farmer plants seeds, months may pass before any results can be seen, but he does not stop working. He knows that beneath the soil, the plants are taking root, and in due time a great harvest will come!

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
- Galatians 6:9

Everyone who does good will be rewarded in due time. You may not see the results now, but God is at work. Keep sowing and trust that you will see a fruitful harvest! Persevere! God is faithful and is working even when you cannot see what you are hoping for happen.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
- Ephesians 6:18

Pray and persevere in the Lord, because you will see great things. Be like Paul: keep your eyes fixed on the goal and remain faithful to what God has placed in your heart, with the assurance that you will see the fulfillment of what God has prepared for you.

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 3:13–14

Day Before Yesterday's Word

The only one worthy of our worship

You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.
- Revelation 4:11

God is the only one worthy of our worship. Only He deserves our praise because everything that exists was created by Him. God created everything from nothing through the power of His words. There is no one else about whom we can say the same.

But God did not create the world and abandon it to its fate. He has shown His genuine love and care for humanity since the beginning of creation. God not only created human beings, but He desires to have a personal relationship with each of us. He walked through the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, taking the initiative to build a strong friendship with them.

When mankind chose to sin, God already had a plan prepared to lovingly reach out and redeem us. He sent Jesus into the world so that all who believe in Him would receive eternal life, because His desire is that we become His friends, His beloved children, and that we spend eternity with Him.

Have you received God's love in your heart? Have you experienced His presence and the salvation He offers through Jesus Christ? Today, lift songs of praise and worship to the Lord God Almighty, your Creator, who loves you more than anyone else. Worship God today and prepare now to worship Him for all eternity, for He alone is worthy of our worship.
