Do I Matter?
SCRIPTURE
Ephesians 2:10 NIV For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
NUGGET
Either our lives and choices matter, or they don’t. Many people live like everything depends on God, and their choices won’t make any difference. But the Word, Jesus’ words, tell us a different story. His final words on earth command His followers to drive out demons, heal the sick, and preach the gospel (Luke 16:15-19). God almost always uses human beings to accomplish His will. Do your words matter? Yes. Does your life matter? Absolutely. Everything about you matters because you matter to God. Live like you matter.
ACTIVATION
What area of your life feels like it doesn’t matter right now? Ask God to show you His perspective about it. Write the word “matter” on your hand today as a reminder.
PRAYER
Papa, thank You for preparing good works for me to walk in. You have given me purpose and empowered me through Your Spirit to accomplish those purposes. Today, infuse every one of my God-appointed purposes with joy so that I may experience Your joy as I step into them. No pressure, just pure joy! Thank You Holy Spirit for reminding me I matter.
