HEAD
In 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, Paul is talking about how God is like a wise master builder. He laid a foundation and someone else is building on it. Have you ever tried to build a Lego house? The BEST way to build a Lego house is to start with a good foundation. With each brick, you lay the outline of what the house will look like when it’s finished. Carefully, you select your bricks and prepare them for the next layer. A solid foundation is really important! If you choose the wrong kind of brick, it could make the next layer of your Lego house less stable, and it could crumble. Or if you leave out a brick it might make the next layer weak.
Jesus is our foundation to build our lives. He is firm, steady, strong, and able to handle any weight (or difficulties) that come our way!
Building our lives is a lot like building a Lego house, we must choose carefully what materials we build with because they have to stand up for eternity (forever and ever).
HEART
What kind of “materials” are you building with? Materials we use to build our lives with aren’t Lego bricks really. This is the stuff we build our lives with, the people we hang out with, the activities we do, the words we speak, what we watch, and what we read and listen to. These are all important “materials” that make up our lives.
Are you speaking kind words to others & yourself, or mean words? Are you reading your bible, or are you only reading fun books? Are you serving others with your time, gifts, and talents, or are you serving only yourself?
HANDS
Sharing your gifts with others is one good building block for your life! Encouraging others is another! There are so many good building blocks for life, and these are just a few.
Pray: God, thank You for the firm foundation that You gave us in Jesus. Help us to be careful of what materials we build our lives with. Please give us wisdom as we build our lives so that they will honor You.
