For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. This is one of my favorite images. It is clear and sharp with no camera shake and the light is perfect. But actually the fact that I got this image is more due to luck than skill. I didn’t have my tripod with me that day; we were just doing a little hike from our campsite when we found this butterfly garden. It was the right time of year for the butterflies to be passing through for there were many there that day. It was the middle of the day and there was no wind. I shouldn’t have been able to get this picture and I have tried to take many pictures of butterflies since and none have been as beautiful as this one.
Unlike this accidentally beautiful image of the butterfly, God doesn’t create by accident. His workmanship is always purposeful. When we accept the grace of Christ, he will make us, create us, into new creatures. And because we are his workmanship, his creation, we can bring beauty to the world when we walk in him and do the good works for us to do along the way. Prayer O Great Creator God, May we accept your grace and be examples of your workmanship. As we walk with you show us the good works you have for us to do this day.
