Build for God, with God

Scripture:  And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, 6 "As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."

Luke 21:5-7

Reflection:   Beauty and truth are fascinating aspects of life.  Though not all beauty is the end of all, but beauty may vary according to the eyes of the beholder.  Similarly, truth too though is objective, yet many may rejoice at uncertain falsities as truth. 

That which we are enamored by, that, which fascinates us, also leaves a lasting impression on our minds. Sometimes it could be the mere sight of suffering, pain and tragedies which can make a deep lasting impact on us.

Yet in the midst of all these impacting sights and thoughts we need to see that every earthly reality is ordered on Christ Jesus. Otherwise nothing is lasting and is of any value, however good or noble it may seem.  What we build with human wisdom is like those stones that Jesus is referring to and which will not be for long one upon the other.

Prayer:  Lord, the realities we see may not last but your word will last forever and if you speak your word to my heart, so as to cause me to obey, then I know I shall reign with you for eternity.
