Architect and Builder is God

[S] Hebrews 11:9-10 --
9  By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;10  for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

[O] Abraham's foundation for his life was based on faith in God.  He was able to pioneer into uncharted territory not because he trusted in his own abilities and knowledge but rather because he trusted God's calling for his life to take part in His plans.  How Abraham searched for the city architected and built by God inspired me very much today because that should be my own perspective whenever I make plans for my life.  Finding God-architected city is not about the physical structure but the infrastructure of how the people's hearts are connected.

[A] I need to find God-architected and built: city I live in, schools my children attend, clubs I join, church I belong to, workplace I find, and investments I make so that I would venture into these areas based on faith in God rather than simply using my own education and experiences.

[P] Dear Father, make me a pioneer like Abraham, who ventures into uncharted territory solely based on faith in You alone.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
