Take a Moment: Wk 2 Day 2 Devotion & Prayer From Pastor Batiste

May 13, 2025    Pastor Lamar Batiste

Title: Grace That Works


Salvation is not the finish line — it’s the starting gate.


Paul says we were not only created in Christ but created for good works. That means God didn’t just save you to sit — He saved you to serve. Grace isn’t just a rescue; it’s a release. A release into purpose, into compassion, into a lifestyle that reflects Jesus.


Good works don’t earn God’s love — they express it. Every time you encourage someone, forgive a wrong, lend a helping hand, speak life, give generously, or serve with joy — you’re walking in what you were made for.


These good works were prepared beforehand — meaning God already planted the opportunities; now He’s calling you to step into them.


Reflection Question:

What is one “good work” God may be prompting you to walk in today?


Prayer:

Lord, thank You for calling me not just to believe, but to become. Show me the opportunities around me to reflect Your goodness. Let my hands, words, and actions point people back to You. Today, help me walk in the good works You’ve already prepared.


In Jesus’ name, Amen.
