Under Construction

Bible in a Year:

• 2 Kings 19–21
• John 4:1–30

For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

Hebrews 10:14 They just repaved this road, I thought to myself as the traffic slowed. Now they’re tearing it up again! Then I wondered, Why is road construction never done? I mean, I’ve never seen a sign proclaiming, “The paving company is finished. Please enjoy this perfect road.”

But something similar is true in my spiritual life. Early in my faith, I imagined reaching a moment of maturity when I’d have it all figured out, when I’d be “smoothly paved.” Thirty years later, I confess I’m still “under construction.” Just like the perpetually potholed roads I drive, I never seem to be “finished” either. Sometimes that can feel equally frustrating.

But Hebrews 10 contains an amazing promise. Verse 14 says, “For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” Jesus’ work on the cross has already saved us. Completely. Perfectly. In God’s eyes, we are whole and finished. But paradoxically, that process isn’t done yet while we’re still on earth. We’re still being shaped into His likeness, still “being made holy.”

One day, we’ll see Him face-to-face, and we shall be like him (1 John 3:2). But until then, we’re still “under construction,” people who anxiously await the glorious day when the work in us is truly complete.

Reflect & Pray

Do you ever get frustrated that spiritual progress seems slower than you expected? How does this passage from Hebrews encourage you to think about your spiritual growth? 

Faithful God, sometimes I get frustrated that my spiritual progress seems slow. Help me to remember that You’re still at work in my life, shaping me and helping me to become more and more like You.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it through hump day...none too soon for me.

How is your mixer going? Can you have help yet?

Good evening, Janey…((HUGS))...any chance of parachute flights restarting any time soon?

[luvie]

Always remember!

[SkyDancer]

Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) I ventured out to the airport today, beautiful sunny day - but - no parachuting. I’ve put in my resume back at the bizjet place I used to fly for. If Frontier doesn’t get going and I’m offered a position, I’ll be taking it, at least I flew as captain.
