Ordinary Time · Daily Verse
“For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand so that we might walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:10
Lumin’s Faithful Translation
The setting
Paul writes to believers in Ephesus to remind them of their new identity after turning from old ways. He stresses that salvation leads directly into purposeful action prepared by God himself. This fits the season of Ordinary Time as disciples grow by serving in everyday life.
Reflection
How might seeing yourself as God’s handiwork change the way you respond to an ordinary task today?
A prayer
God, open my eyes to the good you have already set before me and give me steady courage to step into it.
Carry it with you
Today notice one practical need around you and meet it with a simple act of help, whether at work or in your neighborhood. Let that action flow from your identity as God’s creation rather than from pressure.
