God – The Master Builder – Psalm 127:1 – Lectio Divina

May 9, 2010 By Jean Wise

            
                                                The Carpenter by Nathan Greene

Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. Psalm 127: 1

Lord, You are the Master Builder.  
I am a mere apprentice.
You are in charge.
You hand me the supplies I need for the day’s work.
You give me the tools and teach me how to use them.
You guide my hands in learning the craftsmanship of my trade.
You hold the final blueprints – I just follow your daily assignment.
You see the the whole picture – I only see the nail and board in front of me.
Oswald  Chambers wrote: “Jesus, the Master Builder, takes us over so that He may direct and control us completely for His enterprises and His building plans; and no one has any right to demand where he will be put to work.”

 Reporting for duty!  Where to, Boss?

    I love this. Someone once handed me a slip of paper she had been carrying around that said – I am NOT the Master of the Universe. To think of Jesus as the Master Builder goes even further. I love that line – You hold the final blueprints! God bless!
