God hasn’t finished with you yet!
Ephesians 2
God is at work in you, right now.
The frustration you are experiencing may be simply God working to move you out of the Egypt experience and into His promises.
God isn’t at work producing the circumstances you want; God is at work in bad circumstances producing the YOU HE wants!
a. You are His workmanship, v10
The word is where we get our word ‘poem’ from. It means ‘that which is made’.
God has to make you before He uses you.
God has to work in you before He works through you.
b. You are created in Christ Jesus, v10
He is still Creator God. He can still speak things into existence. He can still shape and form life. He can still create something from nothing. He can still move things from chaos to creation.
c. To do good works, v10
To speak a healing word, to pick someone up, to make someone laugh, to put your arms around someone, to sit quietly as someone cries out their story, to read the Bible to someone. What can you do today?
d. Prepared in advance, v10
Wow! God will not change His plans for you because you decide you won’t want Him anymore or because circumstances mean things are impossible. You may have changed your plans for God but His plans are still the same and He is waiting. His plans contain promises. Promises not for your disaster but for your abundance. Plans and promises that bring a future and a hope.
Amen!
