Christian Commentary

God Is An Artist

EPHESIANS 2:10 NJB 10 We are God's work of art, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has already designated to make up our way of life.

Look around. See for yourself. God is an artist extraordinaire!

When we gaze at a beautiful sunset, or look at the infinitely varied forms of life we find surrounding us, and realize that God designed it all, it is easy to be impressed. God is an artist. The most brilliant, creative artist ever to exist.

But when we look at our own lives and consider what God is doing there, we tend to forget that God is an artist. He is making something beautiful out of you and your life. You may not see the beauty now -- you may not even see any design or evidence that God is working -- but you will recognize it someday.

God's intention for you is to be much more beautiful and glorious than a sunset or a school of multi-colored fish. And you will be! God will not fail.

"Wait a minute, preacher. I can see plenty of people that God has failed on. They are anything but 'beautiful and glorious' -- inwardly or outwardly."

Yes . . . today. But God is not finished. Many great works of art take a long time. Don't judge too soon!

SAY THIS: God is a great artist and He is working on me.

    Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

    Today's Verse - Proverbs 10:17

    He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.

    Proverbs 10:17

    Thoughts on Today's Verse...

    God has given each of us a circle of influence, a place where our lives impact others for either good or ill. In much the same way, each of us is also influenced by others, some of whom can help us see and overcome our problems and shortcomings, while others seem to only drag us down into the mire of sin. However, if we reject or snub discipline and correction, we not only harm ourselves but also lead others astray — we drag others down with us into the mire of sin. Our choices don't just determine our destination; they also significantly impact others for good or evil!

    My Prayer...

    Dear God, please forgive my times of foolish arrogance and lazy indifference to your truth, correction, and wisdom. You have humbled me by the realization that you have made my life a significant influence on others. So, please empower me, dear Father, to use that influence to gently and humbly lead others in the way of your life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

    Today's Verse - 1 Corinthians 10:16

    Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

    1 Corinthians 10:16

    Thoughts on Today's Verse...

    The Apostle Paul makes clear, as Jesus earlier made certain when he instituted the LORD's Supper, that believers anchor the heart of the Gospel in the death, burial, resurrection, and resurrection appearances of Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:1-8). The LORD's Supper, sometimes called Holy Communion, is vital to our walk with Christ. It is a time when we proclaim the story of the Gospel as we share in remembering it (1 Corinthians 11:26). However, Communion is more than a time of proclamation; it is a time of participation. We share in the Supper with each other and with Christ. We are united with Jesus in his death so that we can leave our worship gathering to live his life in the world. This participation revitalizes our walk with the Savior and helps us re-live his saving death and resurrection, so that we can continue his work in the world.

    My Prayer...

    Holy God and loving Father, thank you for giving us the LORD's Supper. It is such a beautiful and convicting reminder of the tremendous cost Jesus paid for our sins. The Supper is also a powerful reminder of your love for us and the ransom paid to free us from sin and death. Thank you for inviting us to share in the gift of your Son and our Savior. May we never take his sacrificial love for granted or misuse your precious gift of grace in Jesus. In the name of our LORD Jesus, we pray. Amen.

    Today's Verse - Judges 10:15

    But the Israelites said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now." Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the Lord. And he could bear Israel's misery no longer.

    Judges 10:15

    Thoughts on Today's Verse...

    When God's people realized the depth of their sin and their impending punishment by God, they repented and asked for his help. They didn't try to diminish the gravity of their sin. Instead, they threw themselves on the mercy of the LORD and his graciousness. Unfortunately, today, we often hide, avoid, rationalize, deny, blame, or skirt the seriousness of our sins. We don't like to admit them, much less confess them, and we sure don't seem to turn away from them. "It's not really all that bad. I know a lot of folks who do a lot worse things than I did," people often rationalize. As Jesus' followers, we must not view confession of sin as humiliation or weakness. Acknowledging our sins and asking for God's forgiveness, cleansing, and power open the door for him to use us mightily if we will look to him for our rescue and let him not only forgive us, but forgive us of all of our unrighteousness (1 John 1:8-9).

    My Prayer...

    Forgive me, Heavenly Father, for my sins. Please eradicate them from my life with the help of your transforming and purifying Spirit as I offer myself daily as a holy and living sacrifice to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
