The second crew today worked on finishing up the trim on the porch ceiling and then working on the front porch steps to the NeBwburn-Rawlinson house. 👏👏👍🔨🪜🪚💕 It has been a good day and God blessed us with a late shower so no one got wet today!👏👏😁

Today we had a few light showers but most of the day had mild temperatures and a little breeze. Overcast so the sun was not beating down on everyone! Praise God for this! We had one crew working on another house dorm next door to the Newburn house. A carport had been closed in years ago and needed to be redone. All of the old siding removed and new siding put up! A great effort by this team today! We also had lots of good clean up help! 👏👍💕🔨🪚🪜

What a wonderful group we had this morning!! 👏👏👍💕This morning's devotion came to us from Leon Murphree (Sabra Murphree). Leon spoke to us about the gift of God's abundant peace. It flows to us daily and continually from His throne of grace! Just like the Israelites had to gather manna daily and could not store it up for future, so it is with His peace. The day to day need for Him kept them aware of their dependence on Him. Similarly, He gives us peace for the present when we come to him with praise, prayer, and thanksgiving. If peace was a one-time gift that we did not need to ask for daily, this might cause us to believe we are self-sufficient! May that never be!! God designed us to need Him moment by moment, and as the realization becomes more evident to us, we can fully realize his abundance sufficiency! His resources are never drained! So Leon challenged us to boldly approach the throne each day asking for His peace with thankful expectant hearts! 👏👏🙏💕
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". Philippians 4:6-7, 19 KJV

With the rain storm we had yesterday we had much cooler temperatures today, about 20° cooler... and boy did we appreciate it! 👏👏🙏💕 We are finished putting up all of the pickets around the front of the property and the air conditioner unit. We also finished putting up all of the ceiling on the front and side porches except for the trim. Tomorrow we may begin on another house on the campus. So thankful for all the work that was accomplished today! 👏👏🙏💕🪜🪚🔨

This morning's devotion was given by John West Bateman. John spoke to us about faith and wisdom from the book of James. James 1:1-8 is an encouraging and challenging New Testament passage. It teaches that trials build endurance and maturity, and instructs believers to ask God for wisdom with confident, unwavering faith rather than doubting. John pointed out that too often we press ahead with our "head knowledge" instead of our faith. We think we can handle the problem so we fail to bring it to the Lord first. He reminded us that believers are told to consider trials an opportunity for joy, because the testing of our faith produces endurance. Endurance leads to spiritual maturity. John used commentary from a reference book called "The James Code". The commentary reminded us all that The Old Testament describes wisdom as “the fear of the Lord.” That is, the ability to make godly choices, and not just take the easy option. To trust that God is in control and commit to doing things his way. To know the right course of action and to actually do it! 👏👏👍🙏💕
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." James 1:5 NKJ

God blessed us with a good morning this morning to begin work! Early in the afternoon we got a really good rain shower that dropped temperatures about 20°!!👏👏👍😊 Thank you Lord!! We were so thankful for the rain and the much cooler temperatures! The picket fence is coming along nicely and the new wood is being installed on the porch.

Our devotion this morning came to us from Leo Sketo. Leo wanted to follow on with a theme from Wayne's devotion yesterday. Men who were favored by God and who never lost their faith even in trials. One of the men that came to Leo's mind was our brother Job. God held Job in incredibly high regard. He praised Job as "blameless and upright," Leo asked the question, "How does God look at each of us? As "faithful servants"? Upright?
We know the story of when God asks Satan what he has been doing, Satan replies that he has been roaming the earth. God then brings up Job, a wealthy, blameless man known for his deep integrity. Satan effectively "applies" for a job by pitching a wager to God. He argues that Job only serves God because God has "put a protective fence around him" and given him a blessed life. Satan claims that if God strips away Job’s wealth, health, and family, Job will curse God to his face. So Satan begins to work on Job and in a single day, Job loses his livestock, his servants, and all ten of his children in a series of devastating tragedies. Despite his immense grief, Job does not curse God. We all know the rest of the story how Job remain faithful even in the continued extreme loss that followed.
In Job 1:21: Job says, "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
Today let us all be thankful that we are clothed in the righteousness of Our Savior, Jesus Christ, and God can look on each one of us as we faithfully stive to serve him! Let us all endeavor the hardships of life like Job and never waiver in our faith, service, and worship of Our Lord!
"I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth." Job 19:25 NIV

The Master's Builders began work today at Jacksonville College on one of the historic buildings on campus, The Newburn-Rawlinson House. It is such a privilege to be able to help with this building. This house was built in 1903 and has a long history with Jacksonville College. The JC Library is located in the historic Newburn-Rawlinson House and is home to a vast array of learning and library resources. The Master's Builders, along with several students from the college and other great helpers, are replacing the entire picket fence around the property and the roof over the front porch. Also, the second story porch will be repaired. Today the heat was pretty intense but we hear there is a small "cold front" coming later in the week to drop the temperatures a few degrees!🥵🥵 Praise God for that! 👏👏🙏💕

The Master's Builders kicked off their work at Jacksonville College this morning with a devotion from Wayne Wimberly. Wayne reminded us all that the Old Testament and the New Testament are linked together with a common thread, Jesus Christ! 🙏💕
Wayne pointed out 13 different ways that Joseph and Jesus were alike. Joseph is widely considered one of the clearest foreshadowings of Jesus Christ. Both men were beloved sons who suffered betrayal and false accusations, but were ultimately exalted to save their people. Here are 13 striking parallels between their lives...
*The Father's Beloved Son: Both Joseph and Jesus were deeply loved by their fathers.
*Rejected by Their Own: Both were initially rejected by their own brethren.
*Betrayed for Silver: Both were betrayed for the price of a slave.
*Stripped of Their Robes: Both had their outer garments taken from them.
*Falsely Accused: Both faced false charges.
*Sent into Egypt: Both went to Egypt. Joseph was taken there as a slave, while the infant Jesus was taken there by Mary and Joseph to escape Herod's murderous decree.
*Placed Between Two Men: Both were placed alongside two transgressors. Joseph was imprisoned with Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, and Jesus was crucified between two thieves.
*Endured Suffering Before Glory: Both were exalted after deep humiliation and suffering.
*Began Ministry at Age Thirty.
*Both were granted ultimate rule.
*Provided the Bread of Life: Both saved people from physical or spiritual starvation. Joseph supplied life-saving grain during a severe famine, and Jesus declared Himself to be the "bread of life".
*Forrendered and Forgave: Both showed immense grace and forgiveness to those who had brutally betrayed them.
*"What Was Meant for Evil": Both narratives demonstrate the ultimate triumph of God's sovereignty.
Wayne reminded us that there are so many parallels in the Old Testament to the New Testament and in the end it's always been, ALL ABOUT JESUS! 👏👏🙏💖

The Master's Builders were blessed to be able to attend the dedication of the new sanctuary and church building at Round Prairie Baptist Church in Fairfield, Texas. This is the home Church of Master's Builders Darlene and Donnie Cockerell and Don Windham and Pamela Craig Windham. The builders helped with framing the new sanctuary in June of 2025 (Job #195). What a blessing it is to see this beautiful church finished, and what a first class facility it is! Had over 500 at the dedication service this morning and we all enjoyed a delicious lunch afterwards in the old sanctuary converted to fellowship hall and gym space. Thank you so much Pastor Chris George and the Round Prairie church family for the invitation and the hospitality! Congratulations on your new church building! Praying for God's continued blessings! ⛪️👏👏🙏💖
