Men
are tired—and not just physically.
They’re exhausted from living in survival mode.
Get through the week.
Pay the
bills.
Keep things from falling apart.
But here’s the problem:
Survival mode is not biblical mode.
From the very beginning, God did not create men to merely endure life. He created men to build.
Before sin entered the world—before scarcity, before pressure—God put Adam in the
garden “to work it and keep it” (Genesis 2:15).
That wasn’t survival.
God gave Adam a vision, a domain, and a calling.
Scripture unfolds this pattern over and over.
Noah didn’t just believe—he built.
Abraham marked the land with altars.
Nehemiah rebuilt ruins.
Even Jesus assumed men would build—and warned that we will be judged by
our foundation.
Survival asks, “How do I get through this?”
Biblical living asks, “What has God entrusted to me to develop?”
And here’s the hope:
God doesn’t just expect us to build... He builds with us.
So consider what God has put before you today.
Ask Him for energizing vision, not just relief.
Because it's vision that moves a man
from merely surviving to building what is meaningful and eternal with God.
“For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 3:11).
