Intro
"The tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It's over 2,700 feet tall, with more than 160 floors. When people see it, they look up.
I want to go this way God - Great were going this way (points in opposite direction)
But here's what most people don't know: for more than a year, there was nothing to look at.
18 months went into planning and executing the foundation.
NOTHING TO LOOK AT FOR 18 MONTHS!
ONCE THE FOUNDATION WAS LAID - A NEW FLOOR EVERY FEW DAYS!
The speed above was paid for by the slowness below.
If you feel like you're in the digging season of your life, a season of prayer that seems unproductive, faithfulness that isn't noticed, or a marriage being rebuilt quietly, you may not be behind. You may be in the part that decides everything else.”
The unseen work is not impressive
The unseen work is REAL
The unseen work is nothing people rush to see
The unseen work is not talked about
The unseen work is quickly forgotten when the building stands
Once the building stands you never see the unseen work again
*The foundation is what is unseen…
Same as in your life
Big idea: Everyone is building something.
- What matters is what it rests on,
- how deep it goes,
- and whether it survives the test.
