The Master Builder

"For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them."  (Hebrews 11:10, 16B)
Scripture Focus: Hebrews 11:1-16

Many cities now feature master planned communities. While some residential areas offer pools or playgrounds, master planned communities boast much more. They include offices, stores, hotels, even large parks - assets that add to the value of a home's location. Developers build these options into their plans at the project's beginning.

Master planned communities are not a new idea. God has always been a Master Builder. He created heaven and earth out of nothing. Then He built the Garden of Eden with everything man needed for a perfect home and intimacy with Him. After our sin destroyed this intimacy, God sent His Son to restore us to Him. Now we who have faith in Jesus Christ long for the heavenly city He has built for us.

God is still building His purposes in our lives. He gives us all we need as He resides in our hearts and works to deepen our faith in Him. We can follow the example of the people of faith in Hebrews 11 and trust our Master Builder - now and always.
