Daily Devotion for May 15, 2006

Master Builder

 

“Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” Psalm 127:1

 

Why do people with great success and fame seem to fail miserably at life? Could it be that the Lord was not part of their life? A little with God is better than a lot without Him. We all have a God purpose during this life. Will we enter into it? I’ve noticed that only God gives you a true appreciation for what you have. But it seems that worldly success and fame without God never satisfies for some reason. We were created to rely on God, and we need to recognize Him as the source of our blessings.

 

 Jesus is the master carpenter. He knows how to build a life correctly. He is the firm foundation. Our relationship with God thru His son Jesus, gives meaning to our lives.
 We live in a fallen world. People are broken and in bondage. We need to be restored and mended.

 

 “Let God have your life; He can do more with it than you can.” (Dwight L. Moody)

 

Prayer
Lord, give us the wisdom we need to build a life that relies on you. Better yet, help me to get out of the way so that you can start building a firm foundation in my life.  Amen.
