And in that, you must remain humble. In cooking, if you don t have the right base ingredients, you have to start over. In building a house, if you don t build properly, your house will not stand. In whatever you do, before you begin it, you must first think about what you want to accomplish and then begin carefully and thoughtfully. The same is true, of course, for the Christian.
Man is a builder.
He builds houses, boats, computers, airplanes, televisions, damns, hospitals, industries, roads, satellites, cars, rockets, and much more. It is in his nature to build, after all, Man is made in the image of God, and God built the universe. So, we build. The first involves humility, the second involves pride. If what you build, if what you accomplish is not for the Lord, if it is not for His glory, if it is not by prayer and supplication given to Him, then it is in vain.
