Temporary Structures

“…therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing…” © 1 Thessalonians 5:11, NIV italics mine

When tall building structures are under construction, you will see around them temporary structures also known as scaffolds. As a building structural engineer, I know too well how we use temporary structures to access and stabilize the construction of the permanent structure. Likewise we as God’s Holy Temple (in the making), have temporary structures around us in form of people, systems and environment.

Our duty is to recognize them temporary structures around us, be grateful for them, make the most of them (not abuse them) AND in due season LEARN TO LET GO. If you don’t let go,firstly, they become unsightly around you and secondly, you rob them of their next assignment—the next temple in the making…people and environment come for a season and a reason, learn to let Go and let God!

The Disease to Please!

“…am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ…” © Gal 1:10, NIV italics and emphasis mine

Dr Harriet Braiker (2001) wrote the New York best seller titled ‘The Disease to Please’ in which she shows how and why people with disease to please are manipulated (used) and abused…Little do we realize the ‘price’ we pay to stay on the ‘good side’ of everybody, not wanting to ‘upset’ anyone.

Paul, in the above scripture, says if he were to please people he would not be a servant of God. If one is ridden with the disease to please, one is never free to be and do what God created one to be. This doesn‘t mean you are reckless with people, but it means God’s approval takes priority over and above all..

Sleeping Giant

“...now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak (terebinth) at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, and his son Gideon was beating wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord is with you, you mighty man of [fearless] courage...” (C) Judges 6:11,12 AMP italics and emphasis mine

David was anointed to be a King over Israel when he was just a youth; He (God) refers to him as “a man”...He calls him a man when he (David) was just a boy tending his father’s livestock (1 Sam 13:13,14). In the passage above, He calls Gideon mighty man, worrier, whilst He was hiding from his enemies, Gideon thought He was talking to someone else and would not believe let alone take up the assignment.

Yes, God calls us the way He sees us from within not from without; and this my friend presents a problem, because we cannot see what He sees in us, we become reluctant to follow his lead. But here is a promise, He said, “I will instruct you and show you the way you should go” (Ps 32:8) and “I will make you” (Matt 4:19) so really all you have to do is have a simple child like faith to ‘trust’ and ‘obey’ Him.
