One of my pet peeves is somebody coming after my work is done and changing everything about what I had done. If the changes are for the better, I am happy for their efforts. But many times the changes add no value but are simply a matter of style or preference on their part. It is a way for them to exhibit control over the work.
I Corinthians 3:11-13 says, “For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.” Spend your time and efforts on good deeds that will last forever, rather than the works that quickly expire when tested. If we spend our time satisfying our own desires rather than doing the good works that God has designed for us, we are essentially wasting our time and efforts, because these works will not endure the test of time.
