Building Is A Family Tradition

Our brother was a carpenter. Our Father could build anything and everything. Come to thnk of it, He did! It only stands to reason that we, too, would be builders. It is in our genes. In fact, we know that is true.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

So, we are made to be like our Father, who builds and built everything. Therefore, it is only logical that one of our tasks would be to build. And the scriptures teach us that we should build – “edify” – one another.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

And, how is this building accomplished?

Proverbs 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

We see here not only how to build the house, but how to furnish it as well. Let us use these same “how-to’s” to build one another up.

Prayer
Father, we praise You. You alone are King. We love and appreciate You for who You are and all You have done for us. Praise the name Yahuah! We long for Your kingdom, Father. Send us know Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us for our sins. Heal us from the inside, and deliver us from the thief and destroyer. We are weak, my Father. We need Your touch. We need Your help. Come to us quickly. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
