God's Masterpiece

My scripture for the Beth Moore Scripture Memorization Challenge:

Ephesians 2:10 (New Living Translation)

10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
I have never been so challenged in memorizing anything in my life!  Today, I even attempted putting these words to song!  Thank goodness, I have four more days!

Here's a list of ways I have seen God use this scripture in my life thus far:
  1. On Saturday, I was praying as I drove to town for my husband and about a situation in his life.  When I returned home, nearly the first words out of mouth proved God was already answering that prayer.  Powerful.  Humbling.
  2. My husband and I are reading the Bible through in a year...already we have discussed several passages.  This I like.  This I covet.
  3. On Sunday, the song leader and I sang "We Are Standing on Holy Ground" for special music.  What a blessing!  I could feel God using us.  Powerful.  Humbling.  Thank you, Lord, for using us. 
I will memorize this verse.  Satan will be defeated. 

Thank you, Lord!
