Building monuments
As I was reading the Psalms this morning in the The Message I came across an expression in Psalm 148 that caught my attention:
- he's built a monument - his very own people!
God is wonderful! He is not living in buildings made by hands nor is he honoured by monuments of granite! He has actually built himself a monument! His very own people! The living God can only be properly homoured and seen in living people! He is building a monument in the earth today! He is building his very own people! Oh, what a frail and weak material he is using for his monument! The reason is that he wants everything to witness of his grace and not of our cleverness!
If his very own people is the monument he is building, what monument are we building?
