Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Psalm 127:1
I will build my house and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18
There is something quite restful when we surrender our lives to the Lord as builder. When we come to the end of ourselves and realize it's about His much bigger hands building what only He can build.
However, it's not an easy place to get to. It's a sifting process, in which we allow Him to define and re-define our lives. It means letting go of our own building materials and putting down the hammer of knowing what we need and want to accomplish in our lives.
It means embracing the amazing work of grace that brings dimensions and depths to our lives that can come no other way. It means the fullness of living - not in vain - and not overcome by hell's onslaught.
It is for His glory and the stewarding of His grace in Christ, an invitation to live life at its best.
Where have you been laboring that needs to be put in the Builder's Hands?
