Made for Good Works
Scripture
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
God calls you His workmanship before He mentions good works. You are His beloved creation, not a machine for producing. Then, from that secure place, He prepares good works for you to walk in. Retirement may change the shape of those works, but not the invitation. Good works can look wonderfully ordinary: praying faithfully, welcoming someone new, sharing a meal, mentoring a younger believer, offering practical help, or speaking hope when another person feels forgotten. Ask God to show you the work already near your feet. You do not have to invent a ministry that exhausts you. Faithfulness often begins with love made available in the place where you already are.
