Renovations

Sorry I have not posted in a few days. I promise to keep a daily blog going from now on (well except when I go away on vacation).

Speaking of vacation, this week I am on a week of holidays. Time away from the church, but not time away from God. During this time, I am renovating a room in the basement of my house. It needed a ceiling added and me with my non expertise in the carpentry field is tinkering away at it. I finally finished this morning and if I say so myself, it looks pretty good, not perfect but good nonetheless.

While doing this task, my thoughts went to Jesus and how he wants to not only renovate our lives, but to do a complete overhaul of us the as his temple. Often times we wont allow the resident (Jesus) to do the tasks he needs to do in our lives. We are either stubborn to the change he wants to do, or we like the way our lives run on our own (until we come into a crisis, but that topic is for another day)

Today I reconfirmed to Jesus that he could do whatever rebuilding in my life He needed to do. I know this is a lifetime project and it will not be done next week, next month or next year. It will only be finished when I see Him face to face.

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)

So as I type this I say (and I hope you do too) bring on the works Lord that you have prepared for me to do.

See you Tommorow
