The Carpenter

I seldom watch television in the afternoon, but when I do, the channel is usually on a remodeling home show. What starts out as a simple redo usually turns into something major when rotten flooring or even termite damage is found. A few times busy little bees have invaded the space. It is disheartening when something simple turns into a major overhaul. 

     Often, I think that I, too, need a major overhaul. In Romans 8, I find that God foreknew, predestined, conformed, called, justified and glorified me. I believe this has happened or will happen over time. I am being remodeled everyday by God’s special tools. It often takes a major remodeling tear out. 

     I am still waiting on the finished product, but I have confidence that the finished product will be beautiful. I have the best and greatest Carpenter of all time! As in the home show, I just need to step aside and let the Expert do His work.
