Builders are the best at eyeballing which blocks are best for construction. No one is more qualified to consider bricks than them. No one has more practical knowledge on the subject than them. So if they reject a stone, they do so for good reason. They know a good stone when they see one. And the best stones are reserved for the corners. Those stones determine the enter blue print of the structure. If the cornerstone is off a hair, the wall will be increasingly off the further from the stone it is built. But God is the architect of architects. He makes the makers of things. And the stone they cast aside as unfit even to be included in their ventures, He has chosen to be the cornerstone of the church He is building. The things we look to orient our lives around don't have room for this stone from Heaven. It has no place in our plans. But it is this stone that God has chosen to determine the course of every one who wants to be part of the kingdom He is building. It is perfectly formed and fitted to produce straight lines that lead to Him. And it is marvelous in our eyes.
