Ephesians 2:10 (voice) Manufactured in Heaven (11.7.12)


For we are the product of His hand, heaven's poetry etched on lives, created in the Anointed, Jesus, to accomplish the good works God arranged long ago.

Observation
I am His product, the work of His hands.  Nothing can come against me without the foreknowledge of God and His approval of it. I am not to be used for purposes other than what I was created for.  I was created for good works, not for sin.  I was created to love, not hate, to exude peace, not fear, to include not exclude, etc. I am not my own. When I try to do work that I wasn't created for my body starts to shut down, I get tired, headaches and pain.  That is because I am going against the manufacturing instructions. I can't use a hammer to do a screw drivers job. I was manufactured in heaven and my owner is Christ.  He is the only one that knows the proper use for Hope Flask.

Application
Each day I need to ask God what good works He has for me.  This isn't just a morning petition, but one that I make throughout the day, in conversations, in meetings, before I go to bed.  Those good works may include serving others physical needs, praying, or simply resting in Him.  He knows better than I.  He wrote my instruction manual and because of His Spirit within me I can read it! Gradually, day by day, I am learning and understanding more and more of what I was created to do and who I was created for (Christ).   Applying this message for me means going to the Source and doing what I was created to do.

Prayer
Thank You Father for molding me, creating me in Christ.  Thank You for etching Your beauty throughout my being.  I am not my own.  I am Yours.  Do what You will in me and through me.
