  10. take our confession from Joshua Chapter one. There's eight. This

  11. book of the Law shall not depart out of my mouth,

  12. but I shall meditate in it day and night, that

  13. I may observe to do according to all that is

  14. written in it. For then I'll make my way prosperous,

  15. and then I will have good success. Amen. The topic

  16. for today is building according to the Pattern, Part one.

  17. Building according to the Pattern Part one. Our scripture reading

  18. will be from Genesis to the sixth there's thirteen to seventeen.

  19. And God said to Noah, the end of all flesh

  20. has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence.

  21. Through them, and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

  22. Make yourself an ac of gopher wood. Make rooms in

  23. the ak, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.

  24. And this is how you shall make it. Length of

  25. the ark shall be three hundred cubits. It's worth fifty cubits,

  26. and its height thirty cubits. You shall make a window

  27. for the ak, and you shall finish it a cubit

  28. from above, and set the door of the ak in

  29. its side. You shall make it with lower, second and

  30. third decks. And behold, I myself am bringing flat waters

  31. on the earth to destroy from under the earth or flesh,

  32. in which is the breath of life. Everything that is

  33. on earth shall die. But I shall establish my covenant

  34. with you, and you shall go into the ark. You,

  35. your sons, your wife, and your son's wives with you. Amen,

  36. Building according to the pattern pat one, beloved, We are

  37. all on a divine assignment. Each of our lives, our relationships,

  38. our weak are all projects owned by God, who is

  39. the Master. The truth us revealed and taught through the scriptures,

  40. is that when God calls us to a task, whether

  41. great or small, he provides a perfect pattern and a

  42. blueprint for its completion. We sometimes approach life's ventures with

  43. the assumption we can do things by ourselves and do

  44. things our own way. We assume that our wisdom, experience,

  45. and our best plans are sufficient and can get us there. Yet, Beloved,

  46. the Bible reminds us that the Lord's thoughts are vastly

  47. superior to ours. His ways are above anything we could conceive.

  48. He is the ultimate project owner, who defines the termes

  49. and sets the rules. He has the grand plan in him.

  50. He literally is not open to new ideas. God is

  51. not looking for our suggestions to improve his design or outcomes.

  52. What he is looking for is our faith, trust, and

  53. obedience in corporation to execute his beautiful blueprint. We are

  54. not the first persons God has called and commissioned on

  55. any assignment. God called Noah and gave him a great assignment.

  56. When God called him to undertake this immense construction project,

  57. he didn't leave Noah to design and build with his

  58. own ideas. If he had done this, the art project

  59. would have failed and would not have been able to

  60. achieve its purpose. What God did was that he provided

  61. meticulous and detailed instructions for every dimension and material. Noah's success,

  62. which led to the salvation of his family and all mankind.

  63. Hinged entirely on one thing, Noah's obedience to the divine specifications.

  64. Noah had to trust that the divine instruction was good

  65. and perfect, even when it seemed unconventional to the world

  66. at the time. When God called Moses and Israel to

  67. build a dwelling place on the Exodus journey, the same

  68. principle applied. Moses could not rely on his experiences from

  69. the Palace of far neither was he allowed to borrow

  70. ideas from the tribes around Israel at the time. Rather,

  71. leah by leah, step by step, God gave him the

  72. heavenly design for the project which was to host his presence.

  73. We are sometimes tempted to see ourselves as core designs. Rather,

  74. we are mere stewards on this grand project of life

  75. and faith. The Bible is instructive in roman Statter twelve,

  76. verse three that none of us should think more highly

  77. of ourselves than we ought to. We are vessels privileged

  78. to be used by the Almighty to accomplish his will

  79. on earth. Our primary role is not to make a

  80. name for ourselves or take any credit, but to wholeheartedly

  81. embrace the wonderful truth that we are here to do

  82. His will. Building according to God's pattern means recognizing that

  83. His nature demands things to be done his wi. This

  84. is an act of worship, submitting our limited understanding to

  85. His infinite wisdom, guaranteeing that the foundation we lay a solid, secure,

  86. and eternal. If we desire to be successful, then Beloved,

  87. let us build according to the pattern and trust God's

  88. way as the only way. In God we have one

  89. one hundred percent success rate. Amen. Or take our memory

  90. verse from Genesis chapter six, the verse twenty two. Thus

  91. know what did according to all that God commanded him?

  92. So he did? Thus know what did according to all

  93. that God commanded him? So he did? Amen? Let us pray, Father,

  94. we thank you for your wedding season. We pray that

  95. you will help us to continue to obey, trust and

  96. corporate with your divine instructions as we undertake our life

  97. shourney and all the assignments that you have given us.

  98. Give us success as we do so in Jesus name. Amen.

  99. Beloved God, bless you for connecting and listening to this episode.

  101. you to stay connected and come back for more spirit
