1 Corinthians 3:14 (NIV)
If anyone's work which he as built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward.In writing this devotion on this bit of scripture, I am reminded of our church's construction project and our purpose for the building. In any type of construction, be it buildings, roads, etc., there has to be a stable foundation. Else, buildings fall and roads crumble. Not only does our building have a stable foundation, but being led by the Holy Spirit, we are building it in order to have more space in which to glorify our Lord and Savior. That is the reason and the foundation for the building.
I am also reminded that we should live our lives to glorify God and that can sometimes be very difficult. As Christians, we face many challenges and trials along life's way. We need to remember that with God as the foundation for our lives we can face the challenges with assurance that he is always there with open arms to pick us up and love us regardless of our mistakes. We are assured of pardon and are promised life eternal with him. I think of the familiar hymn, "Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation."
Dear God, be with us in all that we do. AMEN.
