Many years ago when I visited the National Cathedral while it was still being built, I heard a story about a woman who was visiting that Cathedral with a tour group with members from her community center. She was not on this trip as a pilgrim to see a great place or worship, but only came along because there was nothing else to do that week.
She had gotten separated from her group and was wandering around the area the stone masons were working. She stopped to watch one of the masons who was sitting near the wall of the Cathedral, skillfully chiseling a stone into a perfect triangular piece. Not seeing the spot where it would fit, she asked, "Where are you going to put that?" The worker pointed toward the top of the Cathedral, and said, "See that little opening up there near the top? That is where it goes. I'm shaping it down here so it will got up there."
Suddenly God had spoken through that worker. She discovered what she must do with her remaining days on earth. She needed to shape her life here for the life to come with God up there.
We need to do the same by shaping our lives now for the life to come in God's presence.
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and save me for his heavenly kingdom. (2 Timothy 4:18)
