Daily Devotions - 11.8.06, Eph. 2:10 NLT

Sometimes we are given tasks to accomplish by the Lord and fail to follow through or even start them. Whether it’s the busyness of life, procrastination, forgetfulness, or the thought of inability that stops us from doing that which the Lord has laid before us to do, it’s still considered disobedience and we are questioning His ability to work through us and in us.

I have heard many times this phrase which rings truth and should spur us on to do good, “The only thing that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.”

This morning, do you find yourself in one of these situations: failed to finish, follow through or start something God wants you to do… speak to your neighbor about Jesus, forgive your co-worker or family member, or love your wife and children more?

Believe that God can move mountains, move hearts and move you to do that which He has set before you to do. He will equip you and accomplish much with a willing vessel such as yourself, if you will let Him. Just as a father loves to watch his child do what he is asked to do, and is blessed by it; so, our Father in heaven is patiently waiting for us to do that which He has asked us to do.

“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
