Building for Glory and Good

I love watching young boys and girls build things with Legos. Their small, creative masterpieces cannot help but reflect their image-bearing nature and remind us we were all made to make things. When I think of creation’s design, it is as if God made the world and gave us a massive pile of Legos to play with for our sense of accomplishment, the well-being of our neighbors, and for his glory. 

We did not create the Legos themselves, but we have been entrusted to steward well the Legos we’ve been given, and we need to recognize that those pieces are brimming with seemingly endless possibilities.
