Have you helped build the house of God? If so, what does it look like? Have you left broken pieces and left out parts all along the way? In my life, I have realized that in my pursuit of building the kingdom, I have left a lot of doubt in the integrity of the house I have built for God to dwell. This morning, in my study time, the realization was obvious that as we represent who Christ is we must take into account what He looks like to others. In 1 Kings 6, God revealed an intricate plan to Solomon and stated only if he followed the plans that God had set for him, would it be a righteous house. So many times, I think that we think as Christians that we can operate as a spec home builder when God has instructed us to build a masterpiece. It is in our pursuit of creating the masterpiece that we truly can understand the righteousness and grace of God!
