I can`t remember the moment it happened ...

The other day I drove my son to his work place and was caught off guard.  In an open space next to the A&W there have been workers building a hotel for a few months.  At first it was just a pile of dirt and equipment.  Then it was a clatter of noise that interupted the A&W drivethru.  Then all of a sudden, it became a framework.

Where before was only a hole and a mess of lumber and tools, was now a discernable hotel.  It isn't ready for visitors yet, but there is no mistaking what they are building.

Now, I hope you don`t think I am way too simple.  I knew they were building a hotel all along, but until the frame went up it didn't become very real to me.  It also was amazing how fast it transformed once they had the foundation built.

It got me thinking.

God is always at work.  He is working at rebuilding my heart and reforming my mind.  Yet, I can't see Him work.  I can't point out the pillars or trusses.  NOT until the foundation has been laid.  NOT until the basement is in place.

1 Corinthians 3:11 reminds us that the foundation we stand on is Christ Jesus.

This is why I found the hotel image so impacting.
