Here in Michigan we joke that we have two seasons: winter and road construction. Harsh winters damage road surfaces, so repair crews begin their work as soon as the ice melts and the ground thaws. Although we call this work “construction,” much of what they do looks like “destruction.” In some cases, simply patching holes is not an option. Workers have to replace the old road with a new one.
That’s what it can feel like when God is at work in our lives. Throughout the Old Testament, God told His people to expect some major renovation on the road between Him and them (Isa. 62:10-11; Jer. 31:31). When God sent Jesus, it seemed to the Jews as if their way to God was being destroyed. But Jesus wasn’t destroying anything. He was completing it (Matt. 5:17). The old way paved with laws became a new way paved with the sacrificial love of Jesus.
God is still at work replacing old ways of sin and legalism with the way of love that Jesus completed. When He removes our old ways of thinking and behaving, it may feel as if everything familiar is being destroyed. But God is not destroying anything; He is building a better way. And we can be confident that the end result will be smoother relationships with others and a closer relationship with Him.
Read: Jeremiah 31:31-34
I live only about 90 minutes away from the Island. Nice to feature that location at the Canteen.
Spent the summer of 1989 on beautiful, sunny Parris Island. Almost had to go through Hurricane Hugo there too.
Lived there (as a dependent) from the middle of 1964 to the middle of 1965. My father’s last duty station. He started there, served as a DI before taking a commission, and ended there as a Major. We have a commemorative brick with his name on it by the parade ground.
He served honorably in 3 wars. Which was, he said, less difficult than surviving 3 teenage sons. RIP dad, they don’t make them like you anymore.
