“No one will get by with vandalizing God's temple, you can be sure of that. God's temple is sacred - and you, remember, are the temple.” (1 Corinthians 3:17 MSG)
We are called to be building partners with God. However, some of us inadvertently fall in with the wrong company. We follow worldly priorities--puffing up our own self-image, creating pedestals for our own egos. We end up destroying and vandalizing more than we ever build.
“The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” (John 10:10 NLT)
When we participate in deception--of self or of others--we are partnering with evil. The thief’s purpose is to steal, destroy, vandalize, and kill. God’s purpose for us is completely different. When we align ourselves with the Lord, we become copartners in His abundant generosity--building lives of strength that last forever.
