Building a cathedral

Posted by Andy Carlisle on 13 Nov 2006

Tom Pinder's preach on the parables of the kingdom yesterday and his story about the builders set me thinking. One said "I'm carrying some bricks", another "I'm building a wall", yet another "I'm building a cathedral for the glory of God".

I tried to think how this could apply to all of us and started with myself. This morning my mind went like this "I'm seeing a patient with a cold", then "I'm doing my morning surgery", then "I'm part of building the kingdom of God amongst the people of Birtley".

I'm just an ordinary person doing a job, I have no great abilities or special wisdom, but God chooses to use me and to use you. God stimulates faith in me that where I am today, that the small seed of faith that I carry with me, however small can be used by God for his glory.

What's your perspective on today? And how could you look at today through God's eye?
