Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC) For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].In yesterday’s devotion, we explored how God has predestined every believer for good works, a purpose He prepared for us long before we were born. Today, we will continue to look at how walking in this purpose transforms not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.
After Clement gave his life to Christ, he realized that his search for purpose had been misdirected. Fulfillment didn’t come from following his own desires but from aligning with God’s purpose. As he grew in his relationship with the Holy Spirit, he found that God’s purpose gave him the lasting peace he had been searching for. When we walk in the good works God has planned for us, we find true satisfaction—not in achievements or possessions, but in knowing that we are living out God’s will.
Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that God has specific plans for each of us, and these plans are always for good. When we discover our unique role in His kingdom, we can live with joy and confidence, knowing that every step we take is purposeful. This doesn’t mean life will always be easy, but it means that even the hard moments have a divine purpose that God will use for our growth and His glory.
Living out the good works God has planned often involves making daily choices that align with His will. For Clement, this meant distancing himself from old habits and choosing new, Spirit-led actions. He committed to studying the Word, seeking fellowship with other believers, and sharing his testimony. As he did this, he found that his life began to reflect the love and grace of Christ more and more.
Each day presents opportunities to walk in the good works God has planned. Sometimes, this means showing kindness to someone in need, sharing the gospel, or simply spending time in prayer and worship. God’s path often includes moments of impact—interactions that might seem small to us but have a big effect in someone else’s life. When we yield to God’s guidance, we can trust that He will lead us to fulfill our purpose.
God never calls us to something without also providing the strength and resources we need to accomplish it. 2 Peter 1:3 assures us that God has given us “everything we need for a godly life.” This means that whatever He calls us to do, He will equip us for. Clement experienced this firsthand as he stepped into his new life. With God’s help, he found the strength to overcome his past struggles and became a source of encouragement to others.
Sometimes, our path may seem challenging, and we may feel inadequate. But when we remember that God has equipped us with His Spirit, we can walk in confidence, relying on His strength rather than our own. When we pray and seek God’s help, He provides the wisdom, courage, and grace we need to fulfill our calling.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the good works You have planned for me. Help me to walk in Your purpose with faith and gratitude. Fill me with Your Spirit, and guide me to live in a way that reflects Your love and grace to others. Amen.
—Abraham Damilola Arigi
