Whatever we do every day can seem like drudgery if we don't have perspective.

But we can replace that drudgery with meaning by remembering we are a part of a house for God's name.

Prior to King David's death, the Lord told him his son would "build a house for My name" (2 Sam. 7:13).

This was literally fulfilled when Solomon built the temple in the Old Testament.

But this only foreshadowed a greater temple to be built by God's Son, Jesus.

Jesus became the cornerstone of this house when he was rejected by men, crucified, and raised from the dead (Matt. 41:22).

Through faith, we are living stones in this house (1 Pet.2:5).

And we are a part of what the Lord is building today as we keep up our confidence in Him (Heb.6:6).

So do not grow weary in doing well.

Your labor is not in vain.

Every faithful effort, loving gesture and commitment to seemingly small things will be used in a big and mysterious way by God as He builds a house for His name.
