Living in a fallen world where chance happens to everyone, life can be very complicated and far from easy! While we have the right to make any choices we want in life we are painfully aware that not all choices will lead to happiness. Constantly being bombarded by conflicting advice from people of diverse cultures provides little clarity as to which choices in life might be beneficial and lead to holy living. Praise be to God that He has provided us with an instruction manual on how to build our “house”/lives! While the Bible can be difficult to understand the meaning of its words and the various cultures of its intended readers, the Holy Spirit who lives inside of us translates His divine words into a language that each of us can fully understand. So, we are left without any excuse for not making the right choices in life! The question I want to leave you with is this: whose house are you building, your own that is destined to crash like my bookshelf or are you truly building your home in His kingdom that will last for an eternity?
