The Project

Scripture: 

 

1 Corinthians 3: 13 

‘There’s going to be a time of testing at Christ’s Judgement Day to see what kind of material each builder has used.  Everyone’s work will be put through the fire so that all can see whether or not it keeps its value and what was really accomplished.”

 

Observation:

 

It’s school project time and the students have been given a task.  It’s their own choice what the project is – but presentation date is set sometime in the distant future and owner onus is paramount.  The task is announced, expectations are set out clear and precise for all students to understand.

Any Questions?  Does everybody understand the task?  Are you sure you know what is required?  Any hands up?”  The teacher reiterates one more time – “don’t hesitate to contact me at any time if you don’t understand – I am here to help”

 

Materials to be used must be of top quality.  Write down the process of the task – what worked – what didn’t – complete the task and get ready for presentation day.  “I will expect to see your project delivered to the school on the said day for all to see.  Questions will be asked about the progress and result of your project so preparation is expected.

 

 

Application:

 

My task has been set before me by my God – clear and precise.  The  expectations are high but the Teacher is available at all times to guide, advise and encourage.  The task is mine – no-one else can do it for me.  The plan is set and the process needs to commence.  Procrastination is such a human fault – I must start, continue without stoping, and finish my task.

 

 

Prayer:

 

My materials and handbook for my journey to my destination are in my hand. Thank you Lord that you are with me through all the steps along the way.

When I stumble you are there to pick me up and I thank you for that.  You always have my best interest at hand and I know that you want me to achieve the best result possible. 

 

May all that I do -  be able to withstand the coming fire.
