Do what you are supposed to do. That seems so simple. There have been times in my life when I became troubled because I had not met expectations. It may have been a missed assignment, or missed out on a payment, respond in a certain way, or failed to pick up a child after school. Yep, it could happen. Maybe not more than once, but it could happen. Some of these mishaps may have been due to attending to other matters, and others may because of not knowing or understanding what was expected. For the most part, we often do what is expected of us, if we only know what is expected. Have you ever wondered, “what does God expect of me” or maybe “what is God’s will for my life?” The scripture reminds us that “we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works.” What? God has a plan for me as a Christian. Indeed. There are a few significant words in this passage that are called our attention, most notably, “workmanship…work…walk.” The work that Christ completed at Calvary, is the workmanship that God wants for your life. He desires for His children to know Him, know His ways, look to Him, learn from Him, and lean on Him to trust Him. He wants to involve you in the “good works” that He is doing and His plans for the good that He can accomplish in your life. He plans for His children to know “that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Rom 8:28). God has prepared a plan for your life “created in Christ” with expectation that it will be fulfilled with His help and strength. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jer 29:11). My friend, God has a plan for your life, and will prepare you to do His will. He will equip and lead you to accomplish it. In fact, God says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you” (Ps. 32:8). Dear friend, your loving heavenly Father has great plans for your life, to fill your life with the joy, peace, and rest that is “created in Christ Jesus unto good works.” Do you want to know His will for your life? Start today, go to Him in prayer, meditate in His word, ponder it in your heart, hear Him speak, and trust Him to guide you into all His expectation. He desires to do great things and mighty things with you. Will you join Him? Father thank You for Your love and the marvelous plans that You have for Your children. Lead me in the way of everlasting light. In the blessed Name of Jesus. Amen.
