Today is Wednesday, October 3, 2018, and here is your daily devo. The human heart is made to build. The only question is what will we build? Will we build towers to our own strength and might, monuments to ourselves?
As we saw in Genesis chapter 11, those towers will inevitably disappoint, or instead of building those self-centered towers, will we allow God to build a tower through us, a structure of eternal significance, a gospel tower that brings him glory through the work of his son, and a tower that the church is called to proclaim to the nations. At any one moment in our lives, we are working on one of these two towers. We are pursuing God's will, or our own, his mission, or ours. We are hoarding possessions as ours, or we are gratefully leveraging them as God's stewards.
We accept all the praise that comes our way, or we deflect it toward God who gave us everything. One day, God will gather his people, who are scattered around the world, who worship him together. What power are we building as we wait for that day? Think about this.
What opportunities has God given me in my neighborhood, school, community, and beyond to make God's name great and proclaim his kingdom? What steps will I take this week to do that? Thanks for listening to the daily devo. I would love to connect with you, either on social media, or you can send me an email at them at adamburton.net.
Also, please share this, like it, send it to somebody who it might be a benefit to. God bless.
