Consideration in Buildings
85
and gave them wisdom in building the tabernacle. In the construction
of this building He gave a representation of His power and majesty;
and His name is to be honored in the buildings that are erected for Him
today. Faithfulness, stability, and fitness are to be seen in every part.
Those who have in hand the erecting of a sanitarium are to repre-
sent the truth by working in the spirit and love of God. As Noah in
his day warned the world in the building of the ark, so, by the faithful
work that is done today in erecting the Lord’s institutions, sermons will
be preached, and the hearts of some will be convicted and converted.
Then let the workers feel the greatest anxiety for the constant help of
Christ, that the institutions which are established may not be in vain.
While the work of building is going forward, let them remember that,
as in the days of Noah and of Moses God arranged every detail of the
ark and of the tabernacle, so in the building of His institutions today He
Himself is watching the work done. Let them remember that the great
Master Builder, by His word, by His Spirit, and by His providence,
designs to direct His work. They should take time to ask counsel of
Him. The voice of prayer and the melody of holy song should ascend
as sweet incense. All should realize their entire dependence upon God;
they should remember that they are erecting an institution in which is
to be carried forward a work of eternal consequence, and that, in doing
this work, they are to be laborers together with God. “Looking unto
Jesus” is ever to be our motto. And the assurance is: “I will instruct
thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee
with Mine eye.”
Psalm 32:8
