Shalom,

In today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan we are reminded of another very vital TRUTH! Ephesians 8-10:

8 For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; 9 Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] 10 For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

Everything good in or about us is GOD! Our only obligation and 'claim to fame' is that we BELIEVED and RECEIVED! JESUS gets all of the PRAISE, HONOR and GLORY for doing what only HE could do! Ans WE reap the benefits! Our God is GOOD! ALL the time! Here is Hillsong with an older song called "God Is Good":

Shalom in Him!
