I Am a Workmanship!

By Laurie Donahue

Comparison that Crushes

12/10/12

Comparison crushed Moses' responsiveness

to God

12/10/12

Who says I am a Workmanship?

Ephesians 2:8-10

12/10/12

For by grace you have been saved through faith;

and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of

God; not as a result of works, so that no one

may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in

Christ Jesus for good works, which God

prepared beforehand so that we would walk in

them.

What can we learn?

If you are a child of God,

God has already prepared good things for you to do.

12/10/12

God has given us different gifts which we can useto serve

God and one another.

12/10/12

We are all different, and God uses each of us differently to complete His will.

12/10/12

We cannot compare ourselves to others to decide

our worth. Our worth is established by God.

What gets in your way of

serving God?

12/10/12

I don't have the ability.

Now it is God who makes both us and you

stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,

2 Corinthians 1:21

12/10/12

It's too hard!

I can do all this

through Him who

gives me strength.

Philippians 4:13

12/10/12

I don't know how!

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,

who gives generously to all without

finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Philippians 4:13

12/10/12

I am lazy!

The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns,

but the path of the upright is a highway.

Proverbs 15:19

12/10/12

Others will make

fun of me!For am I now seeking

the favor of men, or of God? or am I

striving to please men?’”

Galatians 1:10

12/10/12

I'd rather serve myself!

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or

vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others

above yourselves,

Philippians 2:3

12/10/12

I am afraid!

Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God

is with you!

Joshua 1:9

12/10/12

God is not first in my life!

I seek you with all my heart;

do not let me stray from your commands.

Psalm 119:10
