Divine Demolition: A 3-Day PlanSample

We will conclude this study with a time of reflection. Think about the questions that follow and how the Lord might be working in your life.

• What are some areas where you feel the Lord may be working on a controlled demolition in your life?
• Have you been willingly working with Him, or do you find yourself fighting against the blasts?
• What are some of the new structures that you see Him building into your soul?
• Is it greater love, compassion, or understanding for others?
• Is it a deeper willingness to listen to His voice and be obedient to His Word?
• Even during the Lord’s demolition project, have you seen Him take pains to make sure nothing is destroyed except what needs to go?
• What might some examples be?

We can take comfort in the Lord’s precision work in our lives. In the hymn “How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord,” the writer depicts God as saying to us: “When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, my grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply. The flames shall not hurt thee; I only design thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.” The Lord always has a good and loving purpose in every Divine Demolition.
