Every Life Is a Construction Site

Every person on this planet is under construction. Some are being built by their Maker. Others are destroying themselves with the help of the Accuser and other people. God wants to build us into the likeness of His Son. When we allow God to restore our lives with His love and grace, we become human the way God intended us to be. We become the temple where God dwells. That is what God desires us to be - His dwelling place, His temple. (Ephesians 2:22 "And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.")

Satan is our enemy and accuser. "Satan - adversary; accuser. When used as a proper name, the Hebrew word so rendered has the article 'the adversary'” (Easton's Bible Dictionary). He desires to destroy us. He desires to devour us so that there is nothing left for God to enjoy. (1 Peter 5:8 "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.")

So every person on this planet is a construction site. The life of each one is either being constructed as a temple or it is being destroyed by the enemy.

Not only is God and Satan at work, but we are also at work in other people's lives. Each one of us has the power to build up or destroy. Our words have power in other people's lives. They have the power to help or to hurt. Scripture tells us to use our words to build up. (Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.")

So who are you in business with. Are you working with God to build others up into what God created them to be? Or are you working with Satan and accusing them causing them pain in the destruction process?

Make no mistake about it. You are either building others up or tearing them down. You are either helping them be the dwelling place of God or you are destroying what God desires to abide in. Every life is a construction site. Are you helping people or hurting them?

Join God and be like God by enjoying the blessing of being a blessing. Build people up.
