Life Construction

Every day you choose a stone, and you select a place to use it. It is difficult, once the stone is placed, to go back later to correct an improper placement. Therefore, keep the power of the Spirit operating constantly in order to place each stone where it will enhance the completed building of your life.

Meditation Thought: “Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected,
    which has become the cornerstone.'” (Acts 4:11)

Just as a builder chooses a stone and its placement in the building being constructed, so we, too, choose the ‘stones’ (decisions, choices, relationships, etc.) we use to build our lives.

“If you will yield your will to Me, I will inspire in your mind and in your heart the knowledge of the Spirit concerning the worldly. The stones you view through only your human eyes will never appear as they truly are, and therefore you will misuse them. It is only when you, through obedience to Me in seeking My will, are enlightened by the x-ray power of the Spirit to know that is inside of the stones, that you can place each stone in its proper place and proper perspective in the building of your life.

Every day you choose a stone, and you select a place to use it. It is difficult, once the stone is placed, to go back later to correct an improper placement. Therefore, keep the power of the Spirit operating constantly in order to place each stone where it will enhance the completed building of your life. The tools of the Kingdom are available for your asking, but if you insist on using the inferior tools of your human judgment and will, they will do you no good.

Do not judge your construction in progress by others’ buildings for each building for each building has a unique function to serve only the requirements of the one who builds it.

Each ideally would be a beautiful monument to the Father, but only by the yielding of free will is this possible. You can yield, you want to yield, and I will help you to yield: consult the plans for your life-building as contained in My Word before you choose a stone. Then pray for the penetration of the Spirit to reveal the particular characteristics of that stone. Observe the circumstances in your life to determine the placement of the stone. Give thanks to Me that it is in place and trust that, whether it appears right to you, that it will be right when your building is complete.”
