Building Without Blueprints

Building Without Blueprints

I was watching a new house under constructed the other day. They had scopes, backhoes and all kind of tools on the primes. But the one thing that I saw that was the most important thing on the primes was a guy with a copy of the blueprints.

You see, you cannot build a house without a copy of the approved blueprints. If you want to build something right, you need a plan. What would happen if you decided you were going to build a house, but you decided to wing it? Just because you have looked at a few episodes DYI, does not mean that you can build a house. I would not put my family in your house, and I do not recommend that you put yours in either.

As silly as it would be to build a house with no blueprints, consider the thought of building one’s life without a blueprint is just a silly.  Your life is much more important, yet many are living their lives without any real plan or blueprints. They are simply winging it, as they go.

People are building their lives with zero input from the master designer; they are paying no attention to the blueprint that was written on their heart at birth. You see, each and every one of us was born with a plan for our lives. However, we have chosen to depart from the blueprints that God the creator had planned for us.  

Wouldn’t it be sad to spend your life building a house only to sit back and watch it be destroyed because it was not built on the proper foundation? It is time for all of us to let God be our builder, protector, and provider. After all, if you want to know the intent of the creation, you should always ask the creator. – It’s Just a Thought – Paul Steven Smith (Uncle Paul) www.unclepaulsthoughts.com
