Still Under Construction

Introduction: Like building a house, our life is UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Our FATHER is the Divine architect.
Jesus Christ is the builder. The Holy Spirit provides the materials. Sometimes the house needs repairing. But since our Lord made us, and bought us, then He knows how to construct us. Be encouraged. We are not a finished product.
1. Under God’s Construction! (Psa 127:1)
“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it.”
In comparison to building a house, our life is being built. Every piece is precisely put together, from the frame (bone structure), to the circulatory system, to the wiring of the nervous system including the brain (computer). All of these working meticulously together.
2. Under God’s Protection! (Psa 127:2)
“…except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.”
Security is BIG! Feeling insecure is terrible. But with the Lord as our Shepherd He knows our name, our frame, and our pain.
3. Under God’s Restoration! (Psa 127:3)
“2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.”
The body needs rest! Our Lord restores us. Jesus gives us His rest. Do you need rest?
4. Under God’s Reproduction! (Psa 127:4-6)
“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”
Being in the will of God brings security and identity.
Conclusion: Let’s face it. We are not complete this side of heaven. But one day, the Divine Architect will finish His intended design. But until then, we are a work in progress.
