august 10

We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10

I just read this little thought: a hammer isn't quite a hammer unless it is hammering. We are not really ourselves unless we are doing what we were intended to do. That's something to consider.

Here's something else to consider. Sometimes I hammer things with a rock. In other words, sometimes I do things and think that I am something not based on who I am but what I am doing. I think I'm a hammer because I hammer. But hammer all I want, I'm still a rock.

It is always best to do what God, your Father, created you to do. But be careful to not base your identity on what you do. Base it on who made you.
