College & Christ: A 30-Day Devotional for College GirlsSample

Walking in Purpose

Ephesians 2 begins by reminding us that we were once dead in sin but made alive in Christ by grace. Paul makes it clear that salvation is not earned by works (v. 8–9). Then comes verse 10, which shifts the focus, telling us that God has prepared good works in advance for every believer to walk in. This means your life has divine purpose, planned before you were even born!

Have you asked yourself any of these questions...Am I in the right major? Am I wasting time? Am I enough? But this verse reminds you that your purpose is about walking daily in the good works that God has already laid out for you, not so much your career path. God wants your daily walk of obedience more than anything. The more we are obedient, the more He reveals the answers to those questions about our purpose.

Think about this...

How does knowing you are God’s handiwork change how you see yourself?
