You’re under construction!

Hebrews 11:10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.

Hebrews 11:39-40 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, did not receive the promise, for God had provided some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.

Driving throughout the United States we’re noticing more construction sites than ever. In part, it’s because we normally travel during the winter when many construction areas are not active, but now during the summer, they seem to be EVERYWHERE! Construction sites are normally messy, as wood, concrete, supplies, and equipment are strewn all over the place. Yet, it’s well understood that the architect and his foreman know exactly what’s going on toward accomplishing the finished product.

We too, are buildings under construction, and the site (or sight of us) is often messy. Portions of our souls (or bodies) may lie broken or neglected, while the Contractor is working in a different area of the site. And we are a lot more complex than a skyscraper. In addition, we’re in constant contact with other “construction sites”, fellow believers enduring the same process whose lives seem as messy or more than our own.

The Sabbath was made for man… to rest. Rest in the assurance that your Father, a Master Builder knows perfectly how His project is going and how to bring it to completion. “He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it unto the day of Christ Jesus”; [Phl 1:6] Your life may feel like a mess, even a wreck at the moment…try to relax and trust the one who is Designer, Architect, Contractor, and Foreman… to build you right and beautiful.
