What are you building?

Almost 2 millenia ago, master craftsmen worked on a project in Greece. As the tour guide walked us through the planning, designing, and ultimately the building process of these amazing structures, we were amazed at the detail put into making it look straight, stand strong, and last for a long time. I am certain that the builders were not thinking about the destruction of their work before finishing, but I am confident they were interested in it's longevity.

As I think about our day to day life, we should be building something. We could build into the lives of others. We could build our own retirement accounts. We could build our families. We could build our businesses and ministries. We coule build our marriages. Yes, as life goes by, we should be building something... The question is, what are building? Are you working toward something that will last 10 years? 100 years? 1000 years? Are you building into the lives of those around you so that the impact you have on this world lasts long after you are gone?

Maybe you have started tearing apart what you had been building. My encouragement to you is to refocus your energy and time on things that last - things that last much longer than you. Maybe, like this building, for a couple millenia!!
