Lesson 7

1 Corinthians:3:9: For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

Though we work with God to help build others, He is the husbandman, the stock developer, the builder, and the architect.

When others contribute to our being built it is only useful if done in line with His design. He is the contractor, they are subs in their particular area. The building is you. The building in which He is concerned is you.

ACT!
Check on those contributing to your construction. What is God wanting you to become? How does He want to build you? Are your relationships building you according to that design?

Draw closer to those that colabor. Draw further from those that build according to the wrong plan.

PRAY!
Father, open the eyes of my understanding. Help me see Your will for me, not others will for me.

Help me see the best connections that colabor with You and be built into Your blueprint for me.
