2 Corinthians 3:6 (ESV)
Who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new
covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the
Spirit gives life.
The noted English architect Sir Christopher Wren was
supervising the construction of a magnificent cathedral in London. A journalist
thought it would be interesting to interview some of the workers, so he chose
three and asked them this question, “What are you doing?” The first replied,
“I’m cutting stone for a shabby 10 shillings a day.” The next answered, “I’m
putting in 13 hard hours a day on this job.” But the last said, “I’m helping
Sir Christopher Wren construct one of London’s greatest cathedrals.”
Whether you realize it or not, we too are building
something. We who believe are building up God’s Kingdom, the richest and
greatest Kingdom this world will ever see!
Let’s examine ourselves and see if we need to make some
changes in our perspective. We have the privilege of partaking in something
amazing -- and better yet, doing it for the King of Kings!
Let’s give our will and our life back to the Lord today
and focus on doing great things for the Kingdom!
Dear Lord, help us each remember that we are building the
Kingdom of God. Help us not get discouraged with the job but be excited because
we are building Your Kingdom. In The Name of Jesus, Amen.
