We can build our lives either propelled by our own hands or by the Spirit of God i.e. without our hands. The former, even if great, is like building upon sand, while the latter is like building upon the rock that will withstand the storms that come. If we are to build, let us do so like the patriarch of old: “For he waited for the city which had foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” ~ Hebrews 11:10
