Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished his entire house. – 1 Kings 7:1 ESV
When I think of the time it took Solomon to plan and build and then design his home, am I amazed how long it takes for me to experience change or to walk alongside someone and see how long it takes them to change? Yes, I am, but I should not be. Growing takes all these three elements and puts them at our feet. With all of this growing one thing is for certain – God makes all things beautiful in His time.
So I need to keep on planning, building and designing until He has finished His work in me and in others. It is a lifetime commitment.
