Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

For the Lord, Not Man

I’ve decided to post on Wednesdays and Sundays, just in case anyone cares :P.

1 Chronicles 29:1

“The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man, but for the Lord God.”

 

Remember that, remember when times are hard, when you’re tired, disappointed, even angry, that what you are doing is for the Lord, not man (that includes yourself).

 

You probably aren’t tasked with building a palatial structure like Solomon, but whatever specific task God has given to you, however great (and if it’s from the Lord, it’s great) rest in the fact that it isn’t for anyone but the Lord!

 

This releases you from insecurities, expectations, pride, and allows you to do your work passionately only looking for God’s approval which you will receive always if you live according to His Will!

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.
