In the state of Ohio, there are over 1000 road and bridge construction projects in 2018. These projects cost over 2.3 billion dollars. That means we need to get used to orange barrels, cones, delays and detour signs on our way to work, school or other destinations. It would seem that our roads are always under construction. The same could be said about our live as we consider our journey with God. Those who are in a relationship with God will encounter a life full of repairs, rebuilds and restorations. In this three-week series we will look at the lives of biblical characters who underwent a God reconstruction. What can the story of these character’ lives teach us about our own lives?

When her husband died, Ruth experienced loss of a husband, loss of security and loss of the possibility to have a child. Seemingly, life is over. But Ruth, with the help of her mother-in-law Naomi, places her story in the hands of God. He shapes her into a woman of integrity, she becomes a woman integral to the lineage of David. What happens when we experience road blocks in our lives? Are road blocks cues that we need to stop so that God can do some work in our lives?

Naaman, was an army commander. He was on top of the world. He was a trusted official. He had clout. But… he had leprosy. He was given some instructions to receive healing, but it included dipping in a dirty river. When he obeyed, he was cleansed and healed. While we are under construction, we are likely to go through rough patches. What is God doing when we are experiencing tough times?

Saul was one of the most feared men in the first century. He had power, a reputation and a solid commitment to destroy the new and growing movement of Jesus followers. One day, on a road to the city of Damascus, he was given a detour that jumpstarted a construction project that lasted the rest of his life. While we are under construction, we will experience detours that will afford God the opportunity to improve our lives.
