EmmDev 2023-02-17 [Renovations (Revisited)] The Final Word

The Final Word

Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat-- for He grants sleep to those He loves. (Psalms127:1-3)

To undertake spiritual renovations is to become more fully human and more integrated than ever before. It is to make our lives as attractive as they can become. It is to grow wiser, more loving, more disciplined. It is to achieve our full created potential and it is to achieve our very best.

This is achievable if and only if we realise that this is not just therapy, self-help, or the power of positive thinking. We need - we cannot do without - the help of a loving Father God who will empower, direct, guide, and inspire the change within us.

He is the start, the middle, and the end of the process of growth in us. It begins because He has made it possible, it continues because He gives us strength, and it culminates in Him (not us!) being glorified for the change that happens in you and me.

If we don't get this, we are squandering our time and effort...
