Master Builder

Psalm 127

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

 ¹ Unless the LORD builds the house,
   the builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
   the guards stand watch in vain.
² In vain you rise early
   and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
   for he grants sleep to^[a] those he loves.

We are building a new High School in Garrett. A lot of planning goes into constructing anything. They have started pouring the footers and before you know it, we will be seeing walls go up.  We have a school representative watching over every step of construction to make sure things are done the way we want them When you spend millions of dollars on a project, you want to make sure every dime counts. You want the best people building and you want to make sure the quality is the best.

Our community has put a lot into our school. The school is the center of all that goes on in Garrett. Everyone has a stake in what is going on during this construction project.

God is the Master Builder. He has a plan for our lives. He has a plan to build you and I into the men and women we need to be. If we don't let him do the building, if we try to do it on our own, we become nothing. We act like we know what we're doing, but we don't. We labor in vain. Only Gods plan is perfect. The people of Garrett love our community. Yet, we are nothing if we don't center our community around God. Our school can receive all types of awards, but if we don't depend on the Lord for guidance, our efforts will fail. All the work we do is in vain if we don't follow the plan the Lord has laid out for us. He is the Master Builder. Let's let him do his work in us!
