In the Construction Business

Just a couple things to grab your attention concerning building. Webster defines building as an edifice (noun) or the act of constructing something (verb). Each day that we live, we are working on the building of something.

1. We are supplying, by our deeds and words, building material for our home after this time side of life. Yes, we are in the construction business, indeed. (John 14:3, Hebrew 11:6, Matthew 25:41, KJV)  The way we live here determines the type of dwelling place that we will have on the eternal side of life.


2. We are also constructing something that will be here long after we are gone. Yes, we are building a legacy one act at a time. It can impact our families, our communities, and our world positively or negatively. We can be like Lois and Eunice or like Jezebel. The choice is ours. Just remember what I told you on yesterday, "Whatever you practice that is what you will become best at."

Since we know that we are building day by day, what manner of builders ought we to be? Yep, we are building:

• for the here-and-now and


• for a-while-later here on earth and


• for all of eternity.

Working on Becoming a Master Builder

When you think about how the here and now

Impacts all of life, for times unseen

It makes you think what life really means

And about the decisions that you have made

Or will have to make and you take on

A heavier load than you here-to-fore had to bear

And you watch what you do and have a care

Because building is going on now, in the timed future

And in the city that is being built up there.
