Who Ya Gonna Believe?

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10 NLT

We are part of God's plan. We've heard that all of our Christian life. Do we believe it?

Oh, we don't have much trouble believing it when we're not having much trouble. Do we only believe it when we can accomplish things by ourselves? How about when we're facing something we can't do or fix on our own? What about when we feel like we're missing in our lives whatever it will take to complete whatever God is asking of us? What about when we might have to ask someone to help us? Is that part of God's plan? 

Yes, I believe it is. God knew before we were born what He wanted us to do and because of His great love and mercy, He designed us with certain skills and abilities. I also believe He left out some things - ON PURPOSE  - so we would need Him and others. God is all about relationships. Loving others, serving others are huge parts of His plan. Read the Plan Book. 

Numbers 23:19 NLT reads, God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? 

God said we are His masterpiece. Are you gonna call Him a liar?

Prayer:

Father,

           Forgive us for every word we utter that contradicts what You have planned and declared for us. Give us Your wisdom and Your strength to fulfill Your purpose for our lives. Help us to see Your fingerprints on all the pieces that are placed in our lives. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
