Everyone wants to build something that endures. We work on building our own reputation, stature, and legacy. Sometimes we try to build fame and fortune.
Unfortunately circumstances get in the way of opportunities to build. Pandemics happen that close off those opportunities. Racial and economic injustices threaten or close off more opportunities. There has to be some way of fighting through these obstacles.
Is government action or civil unrest the answer? Sometimes these movements can offer temporary progress. But the hearts of people need to be changed for long term or permanent change. No amount of self effort or outside influence will bring long term solutions.
Fortunately there is an answer. We have to turn to the one person who has the authority and power to change hearts, that is God. Hebrews 3:4 says, “For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.”
