June 20: Architecture Meets Anointing
Understanding God’s kingdom principles involves grasping that true growth requires preparation and divine blueprint — what we might call “spiritual architecture.” While worldly thinking often emphasizes quick fixes and impromptu success, God invites us to consider a more profound approach to readiness and stewardship. Proverbs 24:3-4 succinctly frames this: “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” This wisdom speaks to the necessity of an intentional foundation both in our spiritual lives and in our vocational callings.In dedication to God’s design, we partner with the Holy Spirit to prepare and align our lives for what He intends to pour into them. This truth is mirrored in Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders (Matthew 7:24-27), where the one who builds on the rock, Christ Himself, stands firm through life’s storms. Aligning with God’s architecture means not only seeking His anointing but also cultivating the structure in our hearts and minds for His presence to dwell richly.
As we attune ourselves to His guidance, we find that His preparation in us is as critical as His blessing. This is a step toward spiritual maturity—where our dependence on God shapes our readiness for His kingdom purposes.
