Who is our Builder?

I am Thankful for the new bathrooms built on the premises of Becky School during covid days in Kibera.  We had excellent craftsmen that worked hard to build these new & wonderful bathrooms for the students and teachers.  We are getting a new classroom built for the up and coming 4th grade students at Becky School.  We got a new sink built on the premises of the school so children could wash their hands and sanitize easily. We got a new water drum for the new bathrooms which was a huge blessing!  
I am more than grateful for all the people who come alongside Little Hearts to make all of these new things possible!  However, I am also reminded from my devotion this week  from Truth for Life, that Christ is the Builder!  This hit me hard this week when I read the verse....Zechariah 6:13
It is He who shall build the temple of the Lord and shall bear royal honor.
Christ Himself is the builder of HIS spiritual temple, and HE has built it on the mountains of HIS unchangeable affection, His omnipotent grace and His infallible truthfulness. What struck me this week is that the stones and the cedars that were used by Solomon in building the Temple of God, they were prepared at the quarry and in the forest before they got to the temple!  "Neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard" (I Kings 6:7) because it all was delivered perfectly ready for the spot it would be placed in the  Temple.  SO IT IS WITH THE TEMPLE THAT JESUS BUILDS! The preparation is done on earth by Jesus' hands!  NOT in Heaven.  We are not sanctified in Heaven.  We are polished, shaped & smoothed (like the stones used in the Temple), totally prepared on earth, readying us to be brought to heaven, to live as eternal pillars & stones in the temple of our Lord!  I love this Truth!  I love that we can get new structures built on the premises of Becky School.......but IF Christ is NOT our Builder, nothing matters.  But with Christ as our Builder, then HIS purpose is fulfilled and we are sanctified in HIM! Whatever stone or pillar is laid will be for eternity when Christ is the Builder.  IT IS HIS WORK.  May we be His workmanship and glorify His Name in the process. 

The new sink on the premises of Becky School.  So thankful for this new sink!

All the stones and bags of sand, etc. had to be carried by hand to Becky School to build the new Bathrooms!
