May 28, 2018 - - Ephesians 2:10a Under Construction

For we are His workmanship... Ephesians 2:10a ESV

As I was out running this morning saw this sign: Construction. The road is torn up. The sidewalks are gone. Only the folks on the job site could possibly know what needs to be done. Realized it is that way with my life. To look at it my life is all torn up. No job. No ministerial credentials. Not physically fit. Yet God has His Spirit at work in me so that my life will conform more and more to Christ. I am in turmoil and yet my soul is at peace in Him. He will complete the work according to His perfect standard.

Help me to realize, God my Father, that the snapshot of me today is not the final portrait. Give me the faith I need during this construction time as the Spirit works out all things for good in my life according to the purposes and plans You mapped out in Christ. Amen.
