Our Future Fixer Upper!
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,
in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise,
and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the
earth and the works that are in it will be burned up."
2 Peter 3: 10
For five seasons (2013-2018), Chip and Joanna Gaines
entertained American viewers with their Fixer Upper TV
show. When the series began, the couple ran a home
renovation business in Waco, Texas.
Throughout the 79 episodes of their show, they partnered with
more than 100 home buyers who purchased a home in need
of renovation. Joanna designed all the renovations and Chip
served as the contractor, transforming run-down properties
into showcases of style.
Renovation and fixer-upper are good words to apply to houses,
but when it comes to God’s plan for planet earth, we have to be
careful with our words. The earth isn’t going to be “fixed up”—
it’s going to be wholly renovated.
Would “restoration” work as well? Possibly, when we think
of God restoring our planet to its original pristine and sinless
perfection. In short, the earth is going to get a total makeover.
Are you anticipating your new home?
It’s going to be way more beautiful than we
can possibly consider (1 Corinthians 2:9).
"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything
beautiful…. Beauty is God’s handwriting."
Charles Kingsley
