Road construction. It’s one of our favorite things, isn’t it? When visiting other cities, many times a local will say, “This stretch of highway has been under construction for as long as I can remember!” And then there’s building construction. New apartments, homes and businesses are going up all over town. It seems wherever you go there is a perpetual state of construction.
Guess what? As a Christian, you are under construction…and it should be a perpetual state of construction. There should never be a time in your Christian walk when there is not growth taking place, with some kind of increase in faith and improvement in godliness.
We should be crying out to our Construction Foreman, “Increase my faith” (Luke 17:5). We need to set our hearts to “make straight paths for [our] feet” (Heb. 12:13). We need to devote ourselves to God’s Word, “which is able to build [us] up” (Acts 20:32). So, have you got your work boots on? The blueprint for Christian living challenges us to greater heights!
