Thought for the Week
from Anglican Mothers Union Australia
Sunday 8th March
Working for Change
‘For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do’
(Ephesians 2:10)
What Adam destroyed, God is re-creating through Jesus. Adam and Eve were meant to serve
God every day and to walk in fellowship with him. Instead, they chose to run their own lives,
to sin against God. But Jesus is the one called the Last Adam, the Man from Heaven
and we are being made in his image. This verse has had a big impact on my life.
Every day I pray that the Lord will show me the good works which he has prepared for me to walk in,
so that I will be more like Jesus. What a blessing!
Question for thought: Do I work for God each day?
Almighty God, we bring before you Dioceses of Rupert’s Land in Canada and Worcester in England.
We pray as they face the challenge of the population being less and less Christian.
We pray that as they reach out to the needs in their communities,
they will have opportunities to share your love and their faith in Jesus. Amen.
