Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalms 127:1 KJV
An architect is a person who designs buildings.
They desire to give us the best-looking building inside and out.
They start by creating a blueprint that is used as a guide.
An architect not only designs the building but is around to advise in the actual building of it.
They want to make sure that all the materials supplied, and the workmanship are of good quality.
There to answer any questions or concerns.
They know there is no room for shortcuts.
It means nothing for a building to look good on the outside, but on the inside the structure is weak.
An architect knows that if they allow this to happen there is an Increased possibility of the building falling under any type of pressure.
The architect knows what he wants to see as the final design of the building.
God is the Master Architect of our lives.
As the Master Builder, He is the One who only builds with the best materials.
The Bible is our blueprint.
We need to make it our business to look at it daily and not take any shortcuts.
It has laid out all the patterns He desires us to take in our lives.
God knows that it means nothing for our outer man to look good when the inner man needs repair.
God wants us to look good both inside and out.
The Word is the ultimate guide for how we should be building our lives.
Unless “the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it” (Psalms 127:1).
If we are building our lives based on our own ideas instead of by God’s Word, we are laying a bad foundation.
A foundation that will not hold under any types of pressure.
Spiritually, our lives will fall into despair, giving the enemy the ability to make matters even worse.
The house that God desires to build in our lives, is full of glory.
A house in which the Holy Spirit can live.
We are on a firm foundation.
Everything that is built on the Word will last.
God wants us to be happy.
With God as our Architect and His Word as our blueprint our labor is not in vain, and our lives are built on a solid foundation.
Let Him build the house of your life.
There is no doubt it will be built right.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Father, You are the foundation we can build our faith on. The Master Architect and Master Builder. We have the best blueprints to follow. They are found in the Word. Keeping us from trying to build our way but according to Your way. Ways that keep us living in houses of glory and filled with Your Holy presence. Thank You for making it all possible.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
