How is your construction project coming? Are you doing everything in your power to build the best temple for your King? 1 Cor 10:31.

Do you have the right tools? Or do you even realize that you may be lacking in the right tools? The best tool is the Word of God. Is this a tool that you have? If you have it, do you just look at it or do you use it? James 1:22-25

Are you hiding His word in your heart (memorizing and meditating on the scripture) to protect His temple from damage? Psalm 119:11

Do you have the proper co-laborers in your life to help perfect that temple for its best use? Eph 4:11-12

If you need help, seek it. If you need my help in seeking it – please contact me. Many times we have to put our own feet in motion to grow in Christ; don’t wait for someone to invite you along. If you want to grow in the Lord, pursue it. Pursue it in all aspects of your life. Build God a temple, the best that you can – don’t compare to others, just use the tool to the best of your abilities, and seek guidance from God and others to become more adept at the use of tool He has given you.
