So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18

Have you been tired, I mean really tired. So tired that you can’t even eat? Next door to us they are building a new housing estate and they begin their drilling and earth moving early! Which is fine if you haven’t been to work the night before. In my household we have night workers and trying to sleep in the day has been a nightmare!

I was trying my best to think about how I could turn this situation into a positive, especially when I had done a night shift myself, and then the thought occurred to me. I wonder how the construction work is doing for my mansion. Yes, that’s right, I said MY mansion.

The gospel of John 14:2-3 reminds us;

In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 

Not only does God live in a place where there are many mansions, but he has gone to build one especially for you. So, when you are kept awake by road digging machines and the dust from the construction coats your vehicle and garden vegetables, remember the key text and dream of heaven and the master builder.
